Investigation into Hazing at Texas SAE

[Kevin]

Looking at those things they have been accused of (I don't know what they've actually admitted to, so a lot of this could be exaggerated), what jumps out at me is the fact that many of these activities are extremely unsafe.

A lot of this stuff, i.e., the "bows and toes," is really not unsafe, painful as hell, but not really unsafe, at least no more unsafe than flag football.

The forced drinking? That is unsafe. I often hear hazing proponents say that they "know where to draw the line," well, clearly, this is evidence that this is not always the case. At least here it wasn't. If what happened here happened as described, it's a real wonder no one was really seriously injured or died as a result of this hazing.

All that said, I don't expect these criminal complaints to amount to anything more than a few suspended sentences. I'll say what I said about the Alpha Phi Alphas at Oklahoma State -- these are likely good kids and society would be better served if they had a second chance and a clean slate.
