Pike speaks out about hazing
It was about building brotherhood
That's what UT junior Rett Hixson, a Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity brother, says about the hazing that happened at the Pike house back in January.
That brotherhood is now a little shaken, with the chapter suspended, on probation, and with more sanctions possible.
"Someone was bound to get caught for it, and it just so happened to be us," Hixson said.

This part I just have a rather hard time with:
"There were no push-ups on broken glass, there were no bottle caps involved," he said. "These are all long-standing rumors about our chapter, and I'm very anxious to dispel those rumors."
Instead, Hixson says some of the pledges were forced to do "lateral ab movements" on the bathroom floor. They're often called planks or "bows and toes," because the move is performed while resting on one's elbows and toes."
Planks are an exercise that is very common to see and do at a gym. Yet I have never seen or heard of someone getting a staph infection from it.
