Sigma Gamma Rho Chapter Charged With Beating, Starving Pledges
From the NY Post:
Six Rutgers sorority girls — including one from The Bronx — have been charged with putting pledges through a horrific eight-day nightmare of beatings and starvation, authorities said yesterday.
The university suspended the Rutgers chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho, as did the sorority’s national organization in North Carolina, university spokesman Greg Trevor said last night, declining further comment because the matter is “under investigation.”
But one of as many as seven alleged victims described a frightening nightly ritual of paddlings, saying she’d been struck 201 times between Jan. 18 and Monday, The Star-Ledger reported. Others told cops they’d been denied food.
