Consequences...
This is an excerpt from the Dallas Morning News as quoted in another BB, so I can't do a link...
"A 26-year-old Dallas man who pressured an SMU fraternity pledge to drink so
much water during an off-campus initiation ritual that he nearly died was
convicted of aggravated assault Friday.
Raymond Lee put a handkerchief to his shaved head and cried after the
guilty verdict was announced. Jurors in his trial will return Monday to
consider Mr. Lee's punishment, which ranges from probation to 20 years in
prison."
In this case, the consequences go well beyond a chapter suspension for this young man.
The scary thing is that things can get out of hand and this could happen to a lot of people. We've seen it here a number of times.
Remember, hazing isn't just against the rules, it's against the law.
