Of course there will always be three sides to the story: his, theirs, and what really happened. However, the "not adding up" might have to do with the fact that this article was written by a student reporter at the school and did not contain facts about bipolar disorder nor facts about the hazing.

Given that there were photographs of a beaten victim taken by his concerned roomate, I would tend to believe that at least some hazing took place. Since Bi-polar disorder runs in the victim's family and is characterized by an imbalance in brain chemicals, any chemical that affects the brain that might have been slipped into a drink could indeed magnify and act as a catalyst for the manic side of that mental condition. Bi-polar disorder is also aggrevated by stress, which would certainly be a factor if your "brothers" were inflicting pain.

In any case, it is good that the school is investigating. Hopefully local police will too.

I've seen copies of the letters he sent and in his letters something just seemed odd. I'm not completely sure what it is.
