If you ask me... they got pretty lucky. Hazing these days is a felony offense in many cities/states...

It is in Florida. We've already seen a group of Fraternity Brothers convicted under this law. I believe from a chapter at FAMU.

Yeah. And this was bad. We all know sometimes the "hazing" definition goes overboard to include things that are genuinely innocent, but THAT should be punished...when you do something that could actually really hurt someone for the sake of a college fraternity, you should be punished. I don't get the need for physical torture, even if it's mild...these are fraternities. In college. It's not the military.

Issues of hazing have been horrible in Florida. UCF, UF, FSU, and FAMU all have incidents.

Hazing is making a comeback. You guys who sold it short are gonna be hurtin.
