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.

But reality will still put your ass behind bars.

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.

Interesting. Point one I can sort of see, but I wouldn't think active-vs.-pledge would have any bearing on whether or not something's hazing. It doesn't in my state, at least.

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.)
