Membership Intake Never Looked So Good...

Guess it's SGRho's turn at the defendant's table. Pledges are getting snitchy, and Nationals are fed up!

Several Rutgers University students claim they endured beatings at the hands of their would-be big sisters while pledging a sorority. Now, six young women are under arrest, facing serious hazing charges. The police made arrests at a university dormitory both Tuesday and Wednesday. The charge is aggravated hazing, an illegal initiation ritual that in this case allegedly left one student's buttocks bruised and bleeding from a wooden paddle. Six members of Sigma Gamma Rho, an African-American sorority, are accused in the scandal.

Both the university and the sorority's national office issued stern "zero-tolerance" statements Wednesday night.

All six accused students are out on bail. They're suspended from school and their sorority is suspended pending the outcome of a series of investigations.
