Women athlete hazers get light slap on wrists
(I wonder: If this was a GLO, what would have happened? What action did the college take? The double standard lives at Frostburg.)
6 College Athletes Plead Guilty in Hazing

(09-12) 15:20 PDT Cumberland, Md. (AP) --
Six women pleaded guilty Monday to hazing for their roles in a boozy college field hockey initiation that left an 18-year-old hospitalized with a blood-alcohol level more than four times the legal limit.
The six current and former Frostburg State University field hockey players were each fined $300, given suspended 60-day jail terms and placed on a year's probation.
The state dropped second-degree assault charges; hazing carries a maximum sentence of six months and a $500 fine.
On Dec. 3, the victims were urged to drink so much beer and liquor that one was hospitalized with a 0.365 percent blood-alcohol level, court documents showed. The freshmen were also pelted with flour, ice and eggs, and made to sit in their own vomit and urine, according to court documents.
The defendants and victim declined to comment Monday after the pleas were entered.
