This week, the San Antonio Express-News obtained a letter under open records laws detailing the hazing activities, which included making pledges set fire to toilet paper wedged in their butts, chug beer, eat sand-covered hot dogs and dress in drag.

Quote:

• At “Brotherhood” events, pledges were told to put toilet paper up their rectums, light it on fire, then run around and put out the fire without using their hands.

• At alumni softball gatherings, pledges participated in “bat races,” where they got dizzy spinning around the end of a bat, ran the bases, chugged a beer and ate a sand-covered hot dog.

• On initiation day, members paddled blindfolded pledges in a garage.

• At campouts, members made pledges strip down to their underwear and lie face-down in the bed of a truck while members drove them to a remote location, then abandoned the pledges to find their way back to the main campsite.

• Pledges dressed in camouflage stormed an after-mixer party and kidnapped a member.

• Around Halloween, scavenger hunts required pledges to dress as women and take pictures of themselves in different places, some of them outside of San Antonio.

• Members made pledges do sprints, push-ups, relay races and obstacle courses, sometimes in the chilly waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

Fueling all the activity was extensive alcohol use, according to the charge letter. One popular drinking game called “buffalo” forced pledges caught drinking out of their right hand to chug their drink.

Not only did members fail to report the hazing, chapter officers denied specific activities took place and told other members to “not be fully forthcoming” during the university's investigation, according to the letter.
