I understand guns are part of the Texas culture, but I haven't heard of California fraternities planning a surfing outing, or Colorado fraternities coordinating a rockclimbing outing. The liability if someone was to get hurt - by participating in something potentially dangerous that was organized as a chapter outing (vs. some of the guys going out on their own) - would weigh heavily on the chapter. They could've been sued for liability, had someone been accidentally shot.

1) why is it so hard to believe? Just because it's outside your (perhaps narrow, based on your posts) area of exposure or knowledge means nothing.
2) again, just because you haven't heard of something happening doesn't mean it didn't occur. It just didn't cross your radar, or get any press, or whatever. Point in fact: a sorority I advised did an "adventure challenge" course involving rock climbing, zip lines, and various other activities. Did you know that? I don't think so. It happened. You just didn't hear about it. We didn't tell you.
As for a surfing outing, oh my gosh. You have got to be kidding me. We forgot to tell you about that too, apparently.
You might want to broaden your perspective a bit. And not stereotype locales while you're at it. I'm actually agreeing with Kevin, so I'm going to take a screen shot just to prove that this really happened.
