As a former little sister of the TU Pike chapter, I find this story very, very sad. As tuSigDelt said this behavior is not indicative of TU students.

Excerpts from the longer article ^ from the Times-Picayune:

Orleans Parish prosecutors refused to charge ten members of a Tulane University fraternity arrested this spring in what police called a hazing that included the pouring of crab-boil and boiling water on two pledges.

A preliminary hearing had been scheduled today . . . . Instead, the district attorney's office announced it would seek no charges against the men, all originally booked with aggravated second-degree battery.

. . . A personal injury lawsuit was filed in federal court May 16 by Matthew Martin against Pi Kappa Alpha Corporation and a dozen individual men - including all ten who were arrested. Martin said that the fraternity members burned him during "Hell Night" and then urged him to downplay his injuries so as not to get the house into trouble. . . .

So apparently we may hear more later concerning the personal injury lawsuit.
