    Texas A&M students sue fraternity after alleged hazing incident left them ‘permanently disfigured’

    Two students at Texas A&M University claim in a lawsuit that they were “permanently disfigured” when an industrial strength cleaner was poured on them during a fraternity hazing incident.

    The students, Patrick Close and Jose Figueroa, filed a complaint against Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity, its Texas Tau Chapter, and several of its members on Oct. 18 in Harris County District Court. The former fraternity pledges claim the fraternity members violated the Texas anti-hazing statute, Texas Education Code, Section 37.153,

    Close and Figueroa are seeking at least $1 million in damages and a jury trial.

    The students claim in the lawsuit that they were pledging the fraternity during the spring 2021 semester. At some point, they were “forced to do various kinesthetic activities” while at least eight of the fraternity’s members poured “various foreign substances on them,” according to the lawsuit.

    What’s your side? Taking the side of the frat? Hazing is ok?

    For the record, I’ve been anti-frat since I went to college. I had no issues making friends so I never saw the need to pay for the ability. I never saw any positive that came from it outside of post-graduate connections…even though that hasn’t had any affect on my professional career at all.

    apparently that Aggie frat didn't take Chemistry and realize that Industrial Strength cleaners have labels have clear warnings.

    Ok. So then what is there to debate? Or, is this just another pointless thread?

    So you just want to know if people are cool with hazing or not? That’s it? Do you really need a thread for every thought that pops in your head?

    I am Sigma Chi, and have 2 boys in college, didn't want either of them to join a fraternity, they are like dinosaurs....a dying breed, and colleges don't want them anyway.

    The idea of making people go through silly adverse tasks togethers as a means of bonding sounds innocent enough, but somehow it just seems to go wrong way too often.

    I think hazing needs to be limited to activities that do not risk physical or emotional harm, and that have a positive benefit tot he community. It's one thing to haze people by making them clean up a park and entirely another to make them strip down naked and mud wrestle

    @Os Trigonum

    looks like some of you never went to college
    Or failed because you wrote down Van Horn instead of Van Gogh for your art history test at the German community college

    Why would I contribute when the owner barely cares about the site and sometimes takes months to address feedback.

    But feel free to suck D and do your shtick.

    Is there a technology class at your community college that teaches you the differences between LED and OLED?
