Phi Kappa Psi at the University of Virginia says that it doesn't have pledges in the fall semester; that's one of its supposed defenses against the accusations from the Rolling Stone article.
I did a Google search of the term "pre-rush hazing."
That's the address of an August 25, 2014 article that was published at The Daily Tarheel, the student newspaper at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The article is called "University investigates pre-rush practices, impromptu meeting held."
That's a picture of the beginning of the article.
That's a picture of the conclusion of the article.
It takes pre-rush hospitalizations to prevent "major violations" during rush, because when the school administration isn't embarrassed and getting phone calls from irate parents before rush season, the administration feels like it can't tell the Greek system not to haze?
This is a picture of part of a Reddit post about fraternities at Clemson University:
"sorority girls are not allowed to attend any pre-rush functions," because you don't want your sorority friends being gang-raped? Is that why?
This is a picture of part of another post at that Reddit page:
Sigma Chi is also one of the fraternities that Brown University sanctioned in 2015 for having unregistered parties; the other was Phi Kappa Psi.
Clemson University is in South Carolina. Brown University is in Rhode Island.
This is how far apart they are, according to Google Maps:
What does that say about what Sigma Chi is like? Not that "hearsay" is necessarily a fair way to judge someone or a group of people, although the conglomerate seems to think that it is whenever anyone says anything bad about me.
Someone else at the Reddit page wrote:
I don't think that death by alcohol poisoning is "bad like everything else." I think it's a type of badness that is specific to fraternities and the culture that is encouraged by them at schools and the culture that is controlled by them in the rest of the world.
Then there was this post:
