Georgia Fraternity Suspended For Paddling

Atlanta Journal-Constitution:

All activities at the University of Georgia's Pi Kappa Phi fraternity are suspended through Jan. 1, 2011, as part of several hazing-related sanctions handed down from the Office of Judicial Programs.

Also, fraternity members -- with the exception of the fall 2009 pledge class -- will not be able to participate in Pi Kappa Phi, and no new pledges may join, according to an informal resolution agreement obtained earlier this week by the Red and Black, the campus daily newspaper.

UGA last month suspended the fraternity because of allegations of pledge paddling -- the extent of which was in question after an investigation by Pi Kappa Phi's national office.

A friend of mine's son had to sit in a bathtub filled with ice water AFTER his pledge paddling.
It was not done bare as sed either but through jeans and it still took it's toll.
He called his mom on the way home and she told him what to do to try and undo some damage.
In college in the 70's the frats did this...that's why it's called HE LL WEEK.
Everyone knows going in what will happen....don't pledge if you don't want it...it is really quite simple.
Sorta like don't stick your hand in a fire.

But how will they act out their primitive ritual battles for primacy in order to then be able to subdue anything that doesn't belong to their club?

I mean how will they be able to justify other other gang activities?

Poor boys

Now, they'll only be able to spank the ham.

Nothing like a little assault in the name of fraternity. Frat boys are pufters!

THEY SHOULD BE IN TROUBLE FOR THEIR BINGE DRINKING WHICH CAUSES DEATH OR LIVER DAMAGE OR CAUSES BLOODSHED OR ANY OTHER BAD THING. ALCOHOL IS THE WORST DRUG THERE IS AND THE EASIEST TO COME BY.

STOP THE ALCOHOL FIRST.

Well, let's see... How many people will denounce the university's actions as a shocking example of (gasp!) political correctness. I mean, boys will be boys, after all. Right? Riiight!
