Indiana University Sorority Investigated for Hazing

Indiana University Bloomington’s Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority was suspended last week pending an investigation into sex- and drug-related hazing.
Former Kappa Kappa Gamma Delta Chapter member Langdan Willoughby spoke to the Indiana University’s
Daily Student in an interview published last Thursday, describing a hazing event called “blow or blow,” in which sorority members in lingerie allegedly forced pledges to choose between doing cocaine or performing oral sex before revealing it was a joke.

At Indiana University, Knott and archivist Carrie Schwier launched an archive and invited volunteers from Monroe County residents and those affiliated with the university to submit diaries, but such projects have been popping up all over the country.
