The news article refers to a "pledging ritual". How do they know this?
I'm thinking of the possibility that the kids involved were just bored and looking for some excitement. (Who was it that posted the story about the fraternity impersonating the football team?)
Sometimes a prank is just a prank. It deserves to be punished, no doubt, but a prank is no reason to call into question the private fraternity rituals. I know that Purdue is a great school. I also know it is in the middle of BFE. Not much to do up there.
I'm just wondering why what used to be called a "fraternity prank" is now directly associated with their rituals.
