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.

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.
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:
