I think the investigation will find that the hazing reported is only a little of actually what happened. They are a very strong chapter, I wish them the best.

Ken, UT frat houses are in a state of being remodeled. Several as you mentioned are already complete and are gorgeous. They should be starting to build the sorority houses in a year or so. They already have the land.

Pike speaks out about hazing
It was about building brotherhood
That's what UT junior Rett Hixson, a Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity brother, says about the hazing that happened at the Pike house back in January.

That brotherhood is now a little shaken, with the chapter suspended, on probation, and with more sanctions possible.

"Someone was bound to get caught for it, and it just so happened to be us," Hixson said.

This part I just have a rather hard time with:
"There were no push-ups on broken glass, there were no bottle caps involved," he said. "These are all long-standing rumors about our chapter, and I'm very anxious to dispel those rumors."

Instead, Hixson says some of the pledges were forced to do "lateral ab movements" on the bathroom floor. They're often called planks or "bows and toes," because the move is performed while resting on one's elbows and toes."
Planks are an exercise that is very common to see and do at a gym. Yet I have never seen or heard of someone getting a staph infection from it.

Well I'll be, they mentioned you bows.

bows and toes (or the bridge) is pretty common. A certain chapter at UofA is rumored to do it on glass or bottle caps, but I don't know any truth to it.

i wouldnt have done push ups on broken glass in the 1st place.
