PITTSBURGH — A dozen pledges spoke with investigators about possible hazing at a University of Pittsburgh sorority, prompted by a mother who noticed bruises on her daughter, police said Wednesday. The mother who contacted police said she was visiting her daughter when the younger woman told her she had been involved in sorority hazing of pledges, Penn Hills Police Chief Howard Burton said. Burton said the girls were taken to the basement of a private home in Penn Hills, about 10 miles (16 kilometres) from campus. A university spokesman said hazing and intimidation are contrary to Pitt’s core values. Dean of Students Kenyon Bonner said the future of the school’s fraternity and sorority life was being evaluated as a result of the incident.
