Get the f outta here with that bullshit

lol

I don't believe he was passed out during the branding but he could've passed out soon after--binge drinking and all. Then again, that's what an investigation is for.

What was that story with the young lady a year or so ago who claimed she was tattooed(sp) against her will? Isn't that what she claimed?

so, according to the old row boards (whether or not they're correct or this is just rumor I don't know), but the boards say that they branded delta delta delta on his other ass cheek while he was crashed, because there was some other tri-delts with him. Basically he had one brand that he wasn't so opposed to, but the tri-delt one... he wasn't a big fan.

If that's so, it's assault, not hazing.

Whether or not this rumor is true, I don't know.

Nice...underage binge drinking raises its ugly head again! They'll regret this for some time. Even if criminal charges aren't filed and their chapter doesn't suffer consequences, I bet the people involved will end up having civil suits filed against them. I agree that this is assault, but in the eye of the public, with fraternities, their is no difference between hazing and assault. I just wonder how much they disliked "Chance" to do this to him while he's passed out.

That sucks big time.

Binge drinking collegiates do yet another dumb thing. If the old row account of it is correct, isn't assault essentially synonymous with hazing in such instances, as far as many are concerned?

Angel, it reads like they were dumb beyond human comprehension. I don't assume they didn't like Chance so much as they were using their brand (they probably were extremely inexperienced in branding) to mark their drunkeness and stupidity. At the same time, I have heard of people getting other organizations' symbols branded on them as a sign of some "bond." It is dumb but not unheard of.

Their logic:

"Your name is on our football stadium, so our name should be on your ass"

He flinched. Pain will sober you up pretty quickly.

cool so it wasn't just me.

No charges to be filed in case. Reasons:

#1- Carter is on video willingly agreeing to branding.

#2- He is already an initiated member of his fraternity, so it is not hazing.

Interesting. Point one I can sort of see, but I wouldn't think active-vs.-pledge would have any bearing on whether or not something's hazing. It doesn't in my state, at least.

Well, golly.

Whoda thunk it?

Thanks for the update, Lane :)

But lets just wait for those civil charges...

Yeah, everyone tell you to get branded or you don't get in his hazing. Agreeing to a brand that comes out bad because your friends don't hire a professional (seriously, it usually the same place as the tattoo shop if you want one bad enough.)

Getting branded by a nonmember (professional or not) is usually frowned upon. Chapters and areas usually have a person or people who know what they're doing eventhough the person isn't a professional and doesn't get paid.

I went to TCU. The moment I saw this story I didn't need to know which house it was. I knew it was Kappa Sig. Their TCU chapter usually consists of local Fort Worth yokels and rednecks from the surrounding areas.

Painting with an awful broad brush there aren't you, Bubba?

Branding is dumb, the the parents of that kid should realize that their son is a dumb ass too. If a fellow brother was set on getting branded I wouldn't stop him, but I don't think I'd be watching either. Poor little rich boy... :rolleyes:
