Looks as if the local cops may have made an error.

"Hazing is a misdemeanor in North Carolina. According to a state statute, anyone who engages in hazing can be charged, but a law passed in 2003 says indictments cannot be based on self-incriminating testimony.

When Klufas initially tried to report the incident to DPD, however, officers informed him that he could be arrested as well, Seeger said. "Regardless of what the statute says, my client did not haze himself. There was a line that was crossed," Seeger said.

Kammie Michael, public information officer and public relations coordinator for DPD, declined to comment on the likelihood that Klufas could be charged and said she could not remember the last time DPD had investigated allegations of hazing at Duke."

police also seem to have rather short memories: "In 2000, only Duke University and UC have reported sorority hazing incidents."
