Chico Again: Ice Water, Mud Crawl, etc. Alleged (Beta Theta Pi)

[EE-BO]

Right on Jon.

And speaking of the Navy, it is worth noting that the immersion tables used by the SEALs in BUDS training provide for maximum immersion times in cold water ranging from 5-20 minutes depending on the water temperature and how long it has been since trainees were last in the water (and there is a decent interval of time in between immersions.)

It is not too hard to imagine an alcohol-induced hazing incident going well beyond those guidelines pretty quickly.

Victims' anonymity at issue in hazing case

CHICO — A local appeals court has agreed to hear arguments why prosecutors should not be required to identify the purported victims in a Chico fraternity hazing case.

The Butte County District Attorney's Office has been directed to appear in court next month to show cause why it should not be required to name which of 13 pledges to the now-defunct Theta Beta Pi fraternity were criminally hazed during an initiation rite last spring. Prosecutors have taken the position they are not required to do so, contending the entire state of California is the victim under Matt's Law, an anti-hazing statute passed last year in memory of Matthew Carrington, a Chico State University pledge who died during a fraternity initiation ceremony in 2005.
