a spotlight on the dirty side of sorority life
More info about a new book (excerpted in current Teen Vogue):
Readers will also find an excerpt from Alexandra Robbins' new book, Pledged, which turns a spotlight on the dirty side of sorority life. According to Robbins, nasty rituals some pledges must endure include "boob rating" (older sorority sisters arrange topless pledges in order of breast size), being branded on the hips with lit cigarettes and "circle the fat" (nude pledges are inspected by assembled sisters, or, sometimes, frat brothers, who circle any fat or cellulite on their bodies with black markers.) And you thought the Marines were tough.

Looks like she forgot to put in the part about how they are all beaten with paddles as part of initiation

Where are all these cool sorority chapters that so like to strip their pledges naked and let fraternity boys watch?
Like the infamous naked-basketball-porn stuff?
Damn we got all the prude chapters.

You know, I heard and saw some stuff that today is called hazing (and rightfully so), but I am always amazed that any one organization would so terrorize its pre-initiated members! Like amazed that the storyteller is so creative. Although, you guys have some pretty creative twists for this story, too!

You would think they could come up with some original material. I am so tired of "circling the fat"
The stuff I experienced was so fun and great. We did fun stuff.
Does that women site sources?
Also- Most sports teams in College have a harsher hazing then the rumors that circulate about the sororities. However, no one ever complains or brands the group

That was discussed in "Wrongs of Passage" by Nuwer, published in 1999. Not original research on her part (unless she specifically witnessed this after 1999).
