Officials at prestigious Rice University took extraordinary action last month and disbanded the school's men's AND women's lacrosse teams after what they say was in a hazing incident that involved consuming large amounts of alcohol and ended with four students being taken to the hospital. In letters sent to the teams explaining the extreme action, the University claimed that a party was held and that new male and female team members were handcuffed together and asked to drink a fifth of hard liquor as a part of an initiation rite.
