Another day, another Greek organization shut down on a college campus over hazing - but the case of the University of Connecticut's Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority is rather ... unique.

Sophomore Hillary Holt is charging that she and others were hazed at the school's Sigma Alpha Epsilon frat house, and that they told to "lay on the floor and sizzle like bacon" and jump up and down and grab their ankles while chugging booze. What's more, Holt said she was pressed to play beer pong, then blacked out - and woke up at the hospital, the Hartford Courant reports.

Kappa Kappa Gamma has been banned from campus until 2017, though students have until Wednesday to appeal the decision. According to the associate director of student affairs, the sorority "engaged in hazing behaviors including but not limited to forced consumption of alcohol, acting like animals, and sizzling like bacon, which included lying on the floor and wiggling," NBC News reports.


What the heck is the world coming to when you can't do bacon hazing at the sorority? :screwy:

I get being upset about being forced to drink alcohol as part of the hazing due to the obvious dangers and recent alcohol related deaths doing basically what happened here but getting bunged up about acting like an animal or pretending to be sizzling bacon?? That is just ridiculous. They do far worse in basic training (minus the alcohol of course) and it's never been an issue.

Forcing pledges to drink alcohol is a bad idea, sure it sounds fun as long as nobody gets hurt or has other issues but, way too often, pledges end up coming close to or actually dying as a result.
