Want more shirtless frat guys, check this out!
Sigma Pi bros at Cornell were busted. And it wasn't one of those usual hazing incidents that resulted in the bros forced to pick up trash around the community or do voluntary work. This time, two guys were serverly wounded and were on life sustaining medical treatment.
Cornell University has revoked its recognition of the Sigma Pi fraternity, after binge drinking sent two students to the hospital back in November. The two freshmen needed life sustaining medical treatment. Cornell calls the fraternity's behavior "irresponsible" and "dangerous". Cornell's Sigma Pi Chapter can't reapply for recognition until 2009.
Not good. Not too long ago, parents sued Rider University and Phi Kappa Tau for the death of a student shortly after a frat party. The tragedy was suspected to be hazing related. The student had a blood alcohol content of .426, according to autopsy results released by prosecutors. Hazing and accidents, I think the Sigma Pi guys have got some SERIOUS problems this time.
I think we're seeing a trend here. Tennessee's chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha has just been suspended by the national organization and the university.
Pledges from the frat were hospitalized with a Staph infection two weeks ago, questions arose about what caused the infection. The infections allegedly developed from wounds sustained by the pledges from a hazing activity. The Pike house was sanitized after UT officials inspected the house and deemed it unsanitary, and an investigation followed.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
