Here's another article: http://wsunews.wsu.edu/detail.asp?StoryID=6855. |
I'm not sure where you're getting that there was definitively "no hazing" involved. This is clearly a very carefully worded press release from the university and greek life office to acknowledge an incident occurred and the freshmen are being relocated "for their own safety". My guess is they specifically avoided the words "haze" as well as "pledge", though they did use the word "assault" and mentioned the need for the greek community to adhere to standards that guarantee students' safety. Even if it somehow wasn't "hazing", you still have young students being subject to "assaults" somehow, one ending up with a broken jaw and the university concerned enough to whisk the freshmen off to safer havens. Still doesn't come off looking good for the greeks.
