Texas Fraternity Ordered to Pay $16.2 Million to Parents of Dead Pledge

This year, four SAE members pleaded no contest to various hazing- and alcohol-related charges, and the fraternity has agreed to revamp its pledging and social activities in order to remain on campus. The organization must now give the school advance notice of parties, limit its attendance, hire off-duty police, and hold parties only on the weekend with a 2 a.m. curfew.

<p>Yeah, boy. The University of Texas sure came down like a ton of brick on SAE for murdering a pledge, huh? A 2 am curfew. Wow.</p>

<p>Goodness, we couldn’t actually, you know, shut the fraternity down. That would mean having to build dorms and stuff.</p>

<p>What they ought to do is put the Chancellor of the University in jail and see if anyone starts to take this stuff seriously.</p>
