U. TEXAS | Frat boys burn pledges with irons, throw darts at their hands

By Alvin Chang

Now this is somewhat horrifying (from the Daily Texan):

Later in the meeting, Evans threw darts at a pledge’s hand after telling the pledge to put his hand against a dart board. Several darts struck the pledge. Sherrill also picked up a hot clothes iron and burned the faces of two pledges in the room. The two were instructed to not attend classes until the minor burns healed, the affidavit said.

But on the Daily Texan’s feedback board, some people are arguing that these pledges were never forced to join the frat. And it said that they could leave at any time.

Valid arguments, I suppose. But does it excuse throwing darts at someone else’s hand?
