And the "beat" goes on: 'U' releases report on hazing

After an investigation into the fall allegations of hazing in the Greek community, the University released the investigation results Friday and found three fraternities and one sorority guilty of hazing.
Some types of hazing confirmed by the investigation included “smoking marijuana, induced consumption of food, blindfolding, dressing in arguably humiliating costumes, theft of property and trespassing.” According to the report, heavy alcohol consumption, humiliation and psychological harassment also occurred. However, the investigation did not find enough evidence for some of the accusations, including “pledges being placed in the trunks of cars; pledges being stripped to their underwear and left in a cold room; non-consensual sexual behavior; the theft of a road sign as a pledge requirement; and incidents of paddling and beating.”
