Sorority Hazing

Let's just get this out there: I was in a sorority. It was fun, because I always had something to do; it was frustrating, because I was always expected to be there. With a smile.

Were You Ever in a Sorority?

Sorority Row, starring Audrina Patridge and Rumer Willis, opened yesterday and the premise is as silly as you can imagine it would be: a sorority house prank gone wrong unleashes a serial killer who begins to stalk the the sorority sisters.
