Sorority hazing refers to the practice of subjecting prospective or new members of a sorority (a female social organization typically associated with colleges or universities) to various activities or rituals that may involve physical, emotional, or psychological stress. These activities are often intended to test the individual's commitment, loyalty, or ability to endure challenges in order to gain acceptance into the sorority. It's important to note that hazing can have serious consequences, and many institutions and organizations have strict policies against such activities due to the potential for harm and legal implications.
