A few key words. A couple of minutes. That is all it takes. This chapter has a culture of hazing that includes both physical and mental hazing. Pledges were paddled, forced to purchase items, verbally abused, put through forced exercise, and kidnapped among other violations. Furthermore, there is evidence of alumni involvement in these activities. Once the chapter was informed of the investigation, the brothers conspired, and subsequently threatened the pledges in order to hinder the investigative process.
