Delicious chicken, beef, turkey and garden veggie flavors. Friskies grillers. Number one in just 60 seconds. Good evening and thanks for joining us. Tonight, the new miss america barely had that crown on her head before it was tarnished by a scandal involved allegations of some deeply unattractive behavior during her time in a college sorority. Her story now shedding light on the controversial aspects of greek life that have cost some students their lives. Heres abcs Mara Schiavocampo. Miss new york reporter newly crowned miss America Kira Kazantsev wowed the judges with her brains every single woman that fights in our military deserves the right to be safe and be happy and respected by those she serves with. Reporter her activist spirit my platforms called love shouldnt hurt. Clap along if you feel reporter and her quirky talent. But tonight, shes anything but happy. Im incredibly hurt that someone has said these things. Reporter a new report on the website jezebel. Com alleging kazantsev was expelled from her sorority at of Star University for exceptionally harsh hazing. She was playing a direct role in the hazing. Reporter erin ryan citing an unnamed source claims under kir as supervision, pledges in the incoming class were called names and made to perform physical tasks to the point of bruising and exhaustion. It was pretty standard hazing type behavior. Its things that a lot of Sorority Girls have participated in. Its something that she for one reason or another is not full little copping to. Reporter the report stating kazantsev, along with another sorority sister, were forced to leave the Alpha Phi Sorority in april 2013 after an investigation into the alleged abuse. These allegations, first of all, are just not true. Reporter but today, miss america was quick to defend herself. Speaking to lara spencer on Good Morning America. Under the broad definition of hazing, yes, i was involved with some ofities while i was at hofstra. And i was hazed. Reporter while she admits hazing was part of the culture, she denied it was as serious as jezebels report claims. It included Something Like you would stand in a line and basically recite information or sleepless night crafting. Things that were menial tasks. And you were told that, you know, if you could learn the information and participate in the traditional things, you would be a member. Reporter her sorority, alpha phi, confirmed to abc that kazantsev is no longer a member. But wouldnt discuss the circumstances of her expulsion, saying in a statement, they have no tolerance for hazing in any form. But kazantsev says she wasnt kicked out for hazing, but because of a simple misunderstanding. I basically made a joke and that was taken out of context and forwarded to the national office. What was the joke that you made . That we would make the evening scary for the pledges. When that event never came to fruition when none of those things that ive been accused of ever happened or were ever intended to happen. The impression i got when i was working on this piece is that its bigger than shes let on. And that she had a bigger role than shes admitting to. Reporter at hofstra today, administrators declining interviews. And the campus, buttoned up. We tried to talk to students about hazing on campus, but nobody would talk to us. We later learned that some sororities have sending emails to their members, specifically telling them not to talk to the media. Extreme hazing and greek life often go hand in hand. More than half of College Students involved in clubs and teams say theyve experienced hazing. Andrew knows this firsthand. As described in his memoir. Confessions of an ivy league frat boy. About his time at dartmouth college. There was about a seven to eightweek hazing term, called the pledge term. Where the pledges were constantly psychologically toyed with and demeaned. Had to go through a series of initiation rituals. Chugging vinegar to vomit, competitive eating challenges. Lots of kind of disgusting stunts we had to do. Reporter he claims that as a pledge, for sig ma alpha epsilon in 2009, he and fellow students were also subjected to a baptism of sorts. Marking them as official pledges. We were told to remove our clothes and then swim in this foulsmelli ining mixture, we w told contained bodily fluids and when i became a brother, i realized that bodily fluids did go into that pool. Reporter it was a tradition that he admits he per pech waited as an upper classman. Seeing that as a brother was really traumatizing. Really weird. So, it was not long after that that i left. Reporter Susan Lipkins says this cycle is the blueprint of hazing. You come in and you just want to join the group, so, youre a victim of hazing. The next year, youre a bystander. Eventually, you get senior status and now youre the perpetrator and you do onto others what was done to you. Usually kids like to add their own mark, so, they increase the hazing. Reporter dartmouth is often cited as the inspiration for the classic movie on greek life, animal house. Dartmouth college today tells us hazing is strictly prohibited and that the fraternity andrew belonged to was investigated and charged with violating the hazing policy. We called sig ma alpha epsilon and said they could not validate the account but have since removed the pledge process altogether. And now, tonight, Clemson University taking action. Suspending the new member initiations of 24 fraternities, following the death of a student who went missing and died after a fraternity event. So far, there is no indication of hazing, though the investigation is ongoing. I think that we dont even know how many hazings there are, because nobody will tell you, because its, you know, youre protected by that code of silence. Reporter as for kira kazantsev, the Miss America Organization says they were aware of her tomorrow nation from her sorority and are standing by their newly crowned miss america. I hope im exactly what had happened and i never wanted anything to be a surprise. I wanted to be honest. This is something that i can use on my college tour when i go into schools and really use it to help inspire women. If anything, im going to take this negative and turn it into a positive. Reporter for nightline, Mara Schiavocampo in new york. Next, meet the moms getting down with lighting up. But are they putting their kids at risk . In a race, its about getting to the finish line. In life, its how you get there that matters most. Like when i found out i had a blood clot in my leg. My doctor said that it could travel to my lungs and become an even bigger problem. So he talked to me about xarelto®. Xarelto® is the first oral prescription blood thinner proven to treat and help prevent dvt and pe that doesnt require regular blood monitoring or changes to your diet. For a prior dvt i took warfarin, which required routine blood testing and dietary restrictions. Not this time. While i was taking xarelto®, i still had to stop racing, but i didnt have to deal with that blood monitoring routine. Dont stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. While taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. Get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of dvt and pe, with no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto® was the right move for me. Ask your doctor about xarelto® today. Compact sedan thats fun,neered fuelefficient, and affordable, theres only the volkswagen jetta. Like this one, 36 highway mpg. Well, except for the 42 highway mpg jetta tdi clean diesel. Oh, right, and the 48 highway mpg jetta hybrid. And if you want all that variety in another compact sedan theres. Huh. Nothing. Right now, get a great deal on all jetta models like the 2014 jetta s for 139 a month. You probably dont expect a nice mom next door to be getting high, but in certain parts of the country, its now not only legal, its big business. The weedfriendly entrepreneurs youre about to meet choose marijuana, not merlot, to relax. So, are they the coolest parents on the planet, or is their habit putting their kids at risk . Can you guys work on this together, please . Reporter by day, shes a busy mom chasing her two sons. Take turns, okay . Reporter but by night, this is how jane west likes to let loose. Lets do it reporter lighting up a joint of artis nall marijuana. Thats right, like jane, a 38yearold entrepreneur, these young moms are unapologetic about getting high. I guess the question is, you know, if you get so high that you cant respond to your kid or you overdose on a brownie and so, then you miss some cue with your kid, i wouldnt want my babysitting smoking pot and watching my kid. Absolutely. I wouldnt want her drinking wine and watching my kids, either. And i really think once we start to understand that this substance is no more dangerous than alcohol consumers of cannabis shouldnt be criticized anymore than consumers of alcohol. Reporter forget glasses of wine. This is now mommys little helper. In the nine months since pot became legal here in denver, colorado, moms like jane have been navigating unchartered territory. Its not against the law to get high. But that doesnt mean taking it is socially acceptable. Some are adamant that pot and pearnhood simply dont mix. How would you feel about your kid smoking pot . The same way i would feel if they started Drinking Alcohol . They need to be responsible. And i truly hope they dont start using substances until they are adults. Reporter jane keeps her pot stash locked up tight. I always keep it in my office closet. Its in this container. Reporter janes well aware of the science that says cannabis can harm developing brains. So, she says, she would never smoke marijuana anywhere near her children. But she doesnt draw a firm line about being high in front of them. I dont think my kids should watch me smoke a joint. Reporter youre not opposed to being a little bit high in front of your kids. I am i am hoping that people dont have to answer this question anymore. Because no one gets asked this question about alcohol. Reporter despite the controversy, jane is making it her mission to bring pot out of the shad doles and into the spotlight. If other people were willing to talk about it instead of saying, oh, my god, i was to drunk last night, to be comfortable saying, i was so stoned last night, then more people would be talking about it just as open lip. Reporter in fact, janes actually leading the charge to turn pot posh. Shes not only convinced this is the beginning of the end of pot prohibition nationwide, she wants to spread the word as a founder of edible events. A company that throws elegant, upscale, weedfriendly parties. Its almost as if pot use is coming out of the closet. I would like for it to come out in a dress and heels. Reporter but worki ining ins brand new industry presents some unique challenges for jane, when it comes to her 4 and 6yearold sons. They said it on npr the other day, they said a story about marijuana and fisher said, marijuana . Thats where my mom works reporter jane is not alone when it comes to moms who get high. And as brittany driver discovered, the risk comes with higher stakes than just being judged on the playground. Brittany gets high regularly. Oh, elliott. Reporter and shes mom to a 2yearold boy. Shes also a local columnist who wrote recently about the very real risk that Child Protective Services can take your kids away if they think youre an irresponsible pot smoker. When you call cps, what you discovered was, even though its legal, if a parent smokes pot they can take my kids. Based on just the fact that its in my home, which is crazy. Reporter colorado Child Protective Services says a parents marijuana use is held to the same standard any alcohol or prescription pills. But critics believe parents that smoke pot are putting their kids at risk. And accusation these moms believe is based on old stereotypes. People in this country think its not right for a mom to spoke pot. I have gotten backlash from people who identify as stoners saying that moms should not partake. I think a lot of that is based on bad experiences that people have had with people growing up and thats not how it is. Everybodys different. Reporter but dr. Margaret hinney at Columbia University has been studying the effects of pot for 20 years. She says the fact that people react differently is precisely the problem. Can a parent efficiently parent while high . Oh, thats really hard to say, because it depends on how tolerant you are, how much youve smoked, heavy smokers can operate fairly well while theyre high, because they become tolerant to all the disruptive effects. But you really want to think through what your kids are witnessing, and how your behavior might be changing after you smoke. Reporter of course, reck yagsal pot use is still against the law in nearly all of the country. The only exceptions, washington and colorado. Here in denver, legalization has turned the city into a mecca for a new type of drag queen. 85 for a quarter ounce . Reporter jane is something of a pot aficionado. She says different var ryals help her to be creative and focused or to relax and sleep. Busy mind when you are thinking about, i think tomorrows wacky water tuesday, did i pack a swim suit, did i do this, did i leave the keys in the thing and what not reporter were having the same conversation at night. It kind of turns it down. Reporter jane brought me to the farm. Her favorite dispensary, for a crash course in cannabis. Here, she spends about 40 every two weeks, loading up on locally grown organic weed. But youre like the upscale u r user. I think, i mean i am who i am, but thats yes. Reporter thats kind of the demo breakdown. Yeah. Reporter whether or not you think pot should be legal, even critics believe its only a matter of time before other states legalize pot, as well. Economists predict in five years, the business of Legal Marijuana will exceed 10 billion. Which is why jane founded a ladies Networking Group called women grow, to encourage others to get in on the ground floor. The end of prohibition is inevitable in this country. There is so much potential for this industry and im very concerned that outdated, uneducated stereotypes about cannabis users is going to prevent women from entering this market at exactly the time they should. Hay, gey, guys. Reporter jane is preparing for the highest profile event of her career. A fundraiser for the colorado Symphony Orchestra here at red rock. This has been five months in the making and theres over 4,000 tickets sold and the seats are filling up. The performance will start in 30 minutes. And im i couldnt be more excited. I cant believe its all really happening. Reporter class call music, brought to you by weed. Without further ado, we would like to thank National Cannabis industry association. Jane west and edible events. Reporter the air is thick with the smell of pot. Nothing new at a concert, yet, no one is smoking openly, because its still elillegal, en in colorado, to light up in public. This is so amazing. Its over 4,000 people. And the weather is amazing. Reporter janes hoping that whats happening here will help make smoking dope seem elegant, even refined. And eventually, change the tune of the debate. Next, latebreaking developments in the search for missing College Student hanna graham. Why authorities have now charged the man they believe with the last person seen with her.
