<p>It really depends on the school’s policies regarding Greek life, and more specifically the policies of the frats and sororities themselves. At my school, there are certain houses (more so the sororities) that have no hazing. Whether that is followed 100% I’m not sure, because I don’t participate in Greek life, but I have a couple of friends in certain sororities who have told me that there is no hazing.</p>
<p>I think with frats it’s a bit of a different situation, simply because a lot of frats want to push the new guys to the limit and see how much they can endure. A lot of it isn’t really THAT bad - a friend of mine from my floor said that once a week they’d take all the pledges to run 7 miles or do one of those military workouts (100 pull ups/200 push ups/300 sit ups, although they did much less since very few people can actually do that). On the flip side, my friend who lived across from me had to endure a lot of hazing. During his hell week, he lost 9 or 10 pounds and had massive bruises on his knees from having to walk on rice and eggshells on the floor. I don’t know all the specific details but it was pretty brutal.</p>
