theta pledges head for the hills before initiation

by: op

Sorry to see that this chapters is going into a death spiral in terms of its membership. Wonder what sent all the pledges heading toward the door and voting with their feet? Something seems fishy here and according to all the SM it looks like half the class fled. Yes, fled. Yes, they left and didn't return.

I had one of the people that fled on my hall and she said people weren't nice to her and nobody made an effort to meet the new pledges and so they felt disconnected and unwelcomed by the house. She said she hopes to join another house next year.

If SM photos are the proof of a PC, half of Miami’s sororitys don’t have any pledges because they’ve posted not one single photo of one single pledge. Maybe people are too busy with things like, say, GOING TO CLASS, to be all over SM.

Sad to see this house slide so far. Used to be solid mid tier and now its in freefall to the lower depths.

Now the thetas are flooding GR with 'how great are we' nonsense in order to make it seem likes all is good. I also heard that they sent out a bunch of invites to friends of friends in order to fill out the ranks after losing 1/2 their class. Gotta love a down low COB less than a month after recruitment. How to fail at recruitment is a new bestseller written by Miami Theta...pick up the book at the front desk of the library for all the deets.

I’m no Theta fangirl, but this is all so much BS. Nobody’s pledge class ran away. Seems like nance is the one who claims to know Kappa is under evaluation. I smell a fake.

Kappa is under review. Ask any of the sisters. Folks from Columbus are in the house. You don't seem in the know.

I don't think they lost 1/2 but they lost nearly a 1/3. If you count all the people in the various initiation pics on IG they clearly had fallout. Wonder why?

There is some truth to this story that Theta is trying to deflect by posting 'how great we are stories' here on GR. If you look at the all the SM pictures out there and POTH then it seems like they lost at least 25% of their class. If you then look at some of the SM chatter from the people that dropped its clear a group of pledges weren't happy and did in fact leave. Trying to figure out if they left because of one person or a group of people or if they didn't feel welcomed. This is a big number of people to leave and will required COB to fill the gaps. I guess if you liked Theta in recruitment then reach out to them now as they have room!

heard there may have been some hazing. or at least asking pledges to do things they “don’t want to do.”

I heard the same exact thing. You can't order pledges to go to certain houses dressed only in their underwear at 5 am. Rest of the instructions are unprintable on here but it was epic hazing. Most pledges were totally offended and the smart ones fled.

I'm one of the pledges that left before initiation. I am a third gen theta and I'm sad to have left but what we were asked to do was just plain wrong. I didn't really know what to do or who to talk to but I knew I didn't want to do what I was being asked to do. So I didn't show up when I was supposed to and I sent an email to the President the next day to say I resign. This was a bad experience and it makes me sad this kind of stuff is still happening in 2019. Degrading and offensive.

you should’ve called national. you deserve to be initiated and every single person involved in hazing should have her pin pulled. you should still call national and Miami Panhellenic. burn the MFer it to the ground.

How many people need to post before the naysayers stop their crap to try and discredit us. If you are new to an organization and excited to be a pledge and are looking forward to initiation you are vulnerable and uncertain who to turn to when something happens. I was one of the people that left because entire situation was sus and shady. I'm not going to walk around campus in my underwear for anyone. I had no idea who to turn to and I spoke to my RA and she told me to contact panhel group but I was afraid, so I resigned. Don't think I will try again next year. You feel totally alone as you don't really know your pledge group super well and in this case most of them did what they were asked to do. But a bunch of us weren't comfortable so we didn't show and then resigned. Its sad that they are trying to cover it all up now. It happened.

God I hope panhel looks into this Theta situation as well as the APhi allegations. We don't need hazing here and can't afford to lose any more houses.

I am one of the five former pledges of Theta that reported the hazing. I am so angry that people are saying this whole didn't happen when it totally did. So glad I quit Theta as the entire thing made me feel so awkward and uncomfortable. People said hazing didn't exist anymore and I stupidly believed them. Hazing is alive and well here. Kinda like the Walking Dead.

Hoping this isn’t true for theTheta’s, but where there’s smoke there’s fire. Theta’s are overall very well reveared and a popular top tier sorority on campus. What I don’t get is are they that self-righteous though to think they are above the no hazing rules? You worked so hard to recruit the top PNM’s and you haze them to do this of all things? Not hating at all.. just really confused by what hazing they were trying to carry out here lol versus what actually got reported. Come on over next year PNMs, we’ll treat you like royalty and you can also still keep your upper tier status <3

Totally agree. WIth the school now investigating the situation there must be something to the claims from the former pledges. Not believing the Theta claims of all is well is Thetaland. Will wait and see but I feel for the former pledges as it sounded like an awful experience to have when you are new to an organization. Scary actually.

People who haze are bullies and probably sociopaths. Why would anyone want to be sisters (or brothers) with someone who gets off on tormenting another human being?
