"UConn is cracking down on hazing, suspending a fraternity and a sorority after complaints of over-the-top inductions (via WFSB).  Fraternity Sigma Chi reported forced pledges to bob for bottles of alcohol in a toilet, paddled new pledges, forced them to eat cat food, covered them in syrup, and stripped them naked. The sorority, Delta Gamma, put their pledges through similar trials. Earlier this year, another fraternity was suspended after a pledge was forced to drink until they passed out, and a second sorority was suspended for making pledges eat dog treats. Granted, in the framework of hazing horror stories, these are pretty tame. Most weekends I can be found nude, covered in syrup, voluntarily eating cat food and drinking until I pass out. But frats and sororities have pushed initiation rituals way past the &amp;quot;we&amp;#039;re going to blindfold you and make you put your hand in brains just kidding it&amp;#039;s spaghetti&amp;quot; haunted house theatrics. Pledges can get&amp;amp;nbsp;seriously injured, humiliated, and even die from hazing. Greek life may have it&amp;#039;s benefits, but UConn is taking a zero tolerance policy on initiation rituals to make sure these extreme cases don&amp;#039;t happen on their campus.
