I think what ktsnake is referring to here is what we like to call the "duck" rule. If it looks like a duck, and wallks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's a duck, whether it really is or isn't. Just because 10 guys from a single fraternity go out and get branded, because they WANT to, and one of them gets seriously injured for whatever reason, that people won't look at it as a fraternity event, because 10 guys from the same fraternity were all there. No, it wasn't an event, but it will be PERCEIVED as one.
