Sorority Life 2, Episode 11: We're Not Hazing You, We're Just Pledging You a Lot

Previously: Brooke came to her senses and depledged, then for some ungodly reason decided to come back to DZO. Maggie and MacKenzie are not impressed. MacKenzie says Brooke will have to earn her pledge sisters' trust again.

It's week five of pledging and the sisters are at an event. It's sister Darci's boyfriend's hockey game, and it looks like the sorority is the only crowd there. Julia spends her time yelling across the ice at the players. Classy.

After the event, though, the sisters find out they're required to go out for the night to Quote, the local bar. Nicole and Brooke are upset they have to go, especially since Julia and Bridgette are excused to go home and study. Nicole says she's not sure how much studying they will get done on a Saturday night. I tend to agree, especially if Julia is "studying" with Wagner like last week.

Brooke and Nicole are dragged to the bar and manage to act significantly bored while they're there. Bridgette says it "boggles her mind" that they would even have the audacity to act like they don't want to be there.

"If you don't want to be here now where do you want to be when you're a sister?" she asks, for the 1,000th time this season.

Speaking of where the sisters will be, it seems sister Laura has left her sorority notebook at the pledge house. It has a list of all the October events, including the date of initiation. Brooke thinks the sisters left the book behind to trick the pledges.

The sisters, meanwhile, have a meeting and decide to postpone initiation, which technically they can do, as long as technically they aren't still pledging them. Talia announces that a lot of information is getting to the pledges and they don't know why. So apparently Laura hasn't fessed up about losing her book and now the pledges will pay. Kind of ironic after all the attention paid to the pledge books, huh? Yeah, I thought so too. The pledges should make her beg to get it back.

The pledges are happy to have found the book and get a peek at the end of the pledging tunnel, although Nicole also is afraid the book is planted. All the sisters are afraid to say anything about it.

Stacey says the pledges finding out the date of initiation is the "worst thing that could happen." Talia calls the pledges "little sh*ts" but it's bleeped out. I'm sorry, but the sh*t is in your own house. Anyone remember "Post-it-Gate"? Good investigators these girls are.

Back at the pledge house, the sisters have gotten word about the extended initiation date. Maggie thinks they're just talking to see who would be willing to stick it out longer. Nicole, who managed to get to the computer when Brooke wasn't on it, looks up the hazing laws for New York on a Web site and finds out if it goes past six weeks, it's technically hazing. All the sisters warn her not to mention the word "hazing" because of the trouble it would cause.

But the hazing, err, pledging continues with another scavenger hunt. A team of sisters and a team of pledges must find all the items on a six page list. They have to take pictures with some things and "steal" some other things, or as one sister says, "Don't pay for anything." They can't say they're with a sorority and they have to wear stupid hats that look like they came from Burger King.

Brooke and Nicole aren't taking the scavenger hunt too seriously, and Julia, the scavenger hunt queen, gets mad at them. She interviews that they're going to be doing stuff like this for "forever." God, what a great way to spend college.

At the mall, Julia is yelling up and down the hall that she's found candidates for "worst dressed" and "worst hair." Brooke is freaking out that the whole group is getting embarrassed.

"Can we have some class here," she says. From the look on Julia's face the answer to that is clearly "no."

To make matters worse, Brittany steals a sign from a kiosk and the group is detained, funny hats and all. Someone says they should keep their hats on, which sends Brooke over the edge, mentioning the sisters out loud several times, which is a no-no. The girls are released after the security guard tells them to take it as a learning experience.
