The first rule of Fight Club is you never talk about Fight Club.

It’s also worth keeping this in mind if you’re a member of the Phi Sigma Sigma sorority.

A former sorority sister is in hot water with her chapter after posting details about their rituals on an online message board.

As well as the secret handshake, secret knock and initiation rituals, the student posted tips to other students hoping to pledge to Phi Sigma Sigma on how to make it through to the next stage.

All students are then asked to sign a ‘contract’ promising to protect the sorority and its secrets.

The student, only referred to as Jane Doe in the lawsuit, is now facing legal action for her blog post ‘stepscloser’, after Phi Sigma Sigma failed to have the post removed by site administrators.

According to The Seattle Post, the sorority has now subpoenaed the web records for the site which originally hosted the post, to track down the member to begin legal proceedings for breach of contract.

If the civil suit proceeds, the case will go to trial next May.
