ehh.. I don't know. While on the one hand, we want this stuff to stop, I'm sure these guys aren't going to do that again. I'm sure that chapter has changed its mind and these 4 kids lives won't be ruined.

From the story:
"The four defendants who entered pleas Thursday were ordered to write 1,250-word papers on hazing, were made jointly liable for restitution of $3,755, and were ordered to perform community service in accordance with plea deals recommended by prosecutor Tyson Branyan."

"All four must complete their papers and community service by Oct. 10, Special District Judge Michael Stano ordered. They received deferred sentences and will not have criminal records if"

"A hazing conviction carries a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail and a $500 fine. "

Part of me agrees with Kevin while part of me agrees with Senusret I.

I do believe that the penalty should be increased.

The reason I believe it's not harsh enough is because writing papers and doing service are like nothing for a member of Alpha Phi Alpha. That aspect of the punishment is actually less than what's required to become a member.
