I doubt it was done that "willingly"

If it was a fraternity, they would have been baned for ever and the individual brothers would have expelled/suspended. I don't think this group should get any special treatment.
It doesn't say they made pledges wash the actives feet, just that the fraternity washed the feet of "others"

On Holy Thursday, this is a long standing Catholic (and other Christian) tradition. In some churches a lot of people take turns washing feet, in others a group is in charge of it. This was, if anything, a service project.

Just because it's not something you're used to doesn't make it hazing. Nor is it particularly unhygenic as the university claims. It's not necessarily the most pleasant job in the world but that's sort of the point.

Someone is taking their Holy Rolling a little to seriously.


Oh, and Hi, Dale.
