"Some "old heads" didn't recognize him and tried to challenge him. When my cousin responded to their challenge (correctly, mind you) they kicked his butt so bad he couldn't walk the next day."
Sounds like a problem that could have easily been avoided if he had just explained to those older guys that he was a recent initiate. If they didn't believe him, he could have given them the secret handshake, secret password, etc. That's a lot better than getting his ass kicked. Although then, like you say, he wouldn't have had any bruises to show off as a result of his encounter.
