That is truly disgusting. Poor guy. I think the most important point made was that hazing is against the law and no one can consent to being hazed.
I knew a Delta Sig in college who got branded on his ankle the night before our school's mud volleyball tourney. After playing, he and his brothers hosed off in front of their house. His skin slid off with the mud leaving a large square defect on his ankle. He had a massive scar when it healed. I don't think people have any idea what they are doing when they try to brand themselves or others.

People can absolutely consent to be hazed.

Not according to Texas law. Does someone know about Colorado law? Since this did occur in Colorado. I don't know if they could prosecute these kids in TX anyway since it didn't occur there.

Just because the law says it does not make it reality.

No charges to be filed in case. Reasons:
#1- Carter is on video willingly agreeing to branding.
#2- He is already an initiated member of his fraternity, so it is not hazing.

No, not a rock - you just don't live in DFW. The TCU Football Stadium, among other buildings on campus are named after his family.

From one of the many news reports:
" . . . the Carters, who brought Chance Carter to the emergency room for treatment as soon as he returned home, have already consulted with a plastic surgeon who estimated it would take at least six procedures to repair.
. . . The Carters are one of the most prominent families in Forth Worth. Amon G. Carter was the president and publisher of the Forth Worth Star-Telegram newspaper in the 1920s "
(Ole Miss Glitter, I wondered the same thing, which certainly says something about my lowly social standing.)

Or like for most people, Fort Worth is not the center of the universe
