Sorority Initiation Rituals
Sorority houses usually do some initiation rituals with their new members. Before you become a new member, you have to apply to the sorority house, and be "rushed" in. The rush time is usually referred to as "hell week". During this time, you're expected to do anything and everything that the sorority sisters tell you to do. This rushing period is meant to separate the weak from the strong. Those who don't last the week, don't stay. In recent news though, these sorority and fraternity rushes are being forbidden at school campuses across the country because of the psychological damage, and sometimes physical harm, that they cause.
