The webshots pictures shows that several fraternities and the soccer team participated. However, it looks like the girls showed up at the house requesting the signatures as opposed to the fraternities arranging anything.
I think that if nothing happens to the Cross Country team then nothing should happen to the men in the photos. That being said, I think that the university should handle this no differently than if it was sorority women. A sorority would be punished as a chapter, in addition to the inidividuals. So the entire team should be penalized for this lapse of judgement.
If the team, nor the women, are held accountable for their actions I think that the school is wide open for hazing. It'll set a precedent that teams can get away with it. The captions for the pictures "All dressed up for humiliation" and "Beer chugging contest with the Pi Kappa Fraternity" fully support the school's hazing definition "induces or coerces a student to endanger his or her mental or physical health or safety, and includes treatment of a shameful, insulting or humiliating nature."
