I shamelessly took this from the NY board regarding a sorority bust in Tampa, Fl.  And to think, they are right next to the Floridian Bible Belt.   Give a whole new meaning to initiation.

[Satire] Tampa Police raided the Sigma Delta Pi sorority house at Westborn College where twenty three women, ranging in age from 19-24, were arrested on charges that reportedly included hazing violations, racketeering, pandering and involuntary recording of sexual acts without the consent of the participants, according to a published report by bi.gs News  
Apparently, as part of a ceremonial initiation into the sorority, each of the 36 pledges were "required to have sex or oral sex on a first date with 7 partners in a two week period" according to a report from bi.gs.

District attorney Michael Watts also said that: "These [partners] had to be men they did not know chosen from a popular online dating service. There is evidence that at least 2 of the senior girls in the sorority received in excess of $2500 in checks from men who were pre-selected as sex-dates for the pledges,"

All 36 of the current pledges who are now Sigma Delta Pi sisters are suspected of going out on sex-dates with a total somewhere in the vicinity of 250 different males. Two of them are alleged to have been with high school seniors from nearby Shelby High School.

At the scene, police seized computers that had more than 20 hours of digital videos recordings of the pledges engaged in sexual intercourse in the sorority house. The videos were apparently recorded without the knowledge of the male partners via a web cam mounted on a computer monitor.

Bi.gs News cites Paula Rogers, spokesperson for Westborn College, with saying "This is not an accurate reflection of the students or Christian teachings at Westborn College. Hazing is a very serious offense and we have a zero-tolerance policy for that kind of behavior. The Sorority's official status has been revoked and the girls who were arrested have been suspended pending the outcome of a full investigation. We're going to get to the bottom of all this."

The arrests reportedly ended a 1-month investigation that involved the Tampa Bay Police Department and the CDC (Center For Disease Control). According to reports, many of the girls were having unprotected sex and the CDC was called in because of potential health concerns.
