Get as mad as you like, but this stuff was filmed on and off campus last semester. They are a local fraternity, they don't have to follow University Hazing guidelines, just the state law. Most colleges are more strict than the state law, yet in ROTC and athletics the activities go unpunished. I don't see anything wrong with the lineups and verbal discipline of the pledges so far. In fact, I'd go as far to say that they are doing (or should I say did) a swell job in pledging the new guys. There has been no physical violence, no alcohol pressured on them, just good old traditional rule enforcement.
I don't see any reason for the University to pull their recognition just because of push-ups and yelling, get over yourself, this is not hazing...
