hazing

Anonymously report them to Panhellenic council and tell them they have hazed you. You don’t need to make yourself known, they will conduct an investigation. They aren’t your sisters if they force you drink or make you do something you don’t want to do. Take care of yourself (mind,body, spirit). That is called not hazing,that is called abuse. Don’t regret reporting them, you could save someone’s life. They will just do it again. Make people aware of the situation.

Definitely submit a report with Panhellenic! I'm so sorry you had that experience with one of our chapters, and I know that most of our sororities don't haze and I hope you find your home during recruitment next year!

Also so when you report the sorority for hazing you, mention every single person name who were hazing you. Not only is their chapter responsible, the sisters who hazed you must be punished. Make sure when you make a report, include every persons’ who hazed you and was associated with hazing. Don’t let anyone harass you or make you do anything you don’t to.

Everything will be fine, there are great chapters on campus with high standards, ideals, and morals. You will find one. You have a great future ahead of you, you are still young. Have fun and be safe.

If your sorority sisters harass, haze you and threaten you hazing and Panhellic council won’t do anything for the protection of your safety and well-being, immediately call 911 and contact the Pullman Police Department,

In response to the above comment about formal recruitment: during formal recruitment at WSU, PNMs are required to attend the events at every house they are invited back to (meaning every house during the first round). I agree that it would be really awkward going back to the house that hazed you, and honestly I would recommend informal recruitment! You can attend events at as many houses as you want doing informal but don’t have to go to any chapter you don’t want to. Good luck!

Don’t listen to the naive person who posted above, they have no idea what the hell they are talking about and they aren’t astute. The poster above lacks common sense, clarity and isn’t rational. Truth told, it is very difficult to get a bid when you are informally rushing. The sororities are looking for 30+ girls for their P.C during formal recruitment. Evaluating the situation, informal recruitment is maybe looking 4-5 girls at most, The odds of getting a bid with 15+ rushing during informal puts you in bad situation. I would recommend doing formal recruitment. Yes, it will be very weird to go back the house that dropped you but it’s only for 40 minutes and you never need to go back after that. Also another piece of advice, if you see someone wearing their sorority letters in a house you are interested in, introduce yourself and say I am interested learning and potentially being part of your sorority..

Be honest with yourself, you are unlikely to get a bid during informal recruitment. Don’t ever go back to your house during formal recruitment. Those girls are going to beat the living daylights out of you and jump you senseless if you report them and you show up to their house again. Do formal recruitment and skip their house, say you are sick to your Rho-Gamma. If you report them anonymously, they will know. You are completely screwed if you report them and you show up to their ever again. It is called snitching. Snitches get stitches.

I would say do informal. It is so much more relaxed than formal and since you already went through formal you have a good idea of which houses you clicked with already. It is a lot easier to feel out whether or not a house is a good match during informal because it’s so much more chill with less pressure and it’s easier to show your true colors. Also a lot of times during informal you are recruited by the newest pc, so you see which pc you will be joining and if you can vibe w the girls in your own pc!

The reason why I personally wouldn’t recommend informal rush is it limits your chances and informally rushing is more a lot more selective and difficult. The reason why formal recruitment is recommended is that you visit and interact with every house. It is better to have 5+ choices of houses rather than 2 houses during informal. Also remember, once you rush a house and they say no, it is extremely unlikely they want you the second time around rushing. I recommend formal rush, why limit your chances and options during informal? 🤔 Plus some houses aren’t interested in informal recruitment or it more difficult to get invited to rush event.
