PESSIMIST: Greek Life documents clarify NMO practices

April 1, 2026 by Optimist Staff Leave a Comment

In a special interview with the Pessimist editorial staff, Greek Life released all of its documents from this year’s sorority and fraternity New Member Orientation. 

Robin McPherson, senior coordinator for Greek Life, explained that they wanted to share the documents publicly to reassure people that there is no hazing in Greek life.

“We often hear concerns from parents and faculty that the clubs are hazing their potential new members,” she said. “We feel as a staff that this is a distraction from the amazing things happening in clubs. We want to be open about what these clubs are doing, so we have decided to share our notes publicly.”

What follows are the notes that have been shared with our staff:

The only warning given to GATA this year was for their singling out of a flame who did not chant loud enough at the fountain.
