The nice people over at Sanguine et Purpure (an unoffical blog for the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity) have brought two recent allegations of fraternity hazings to my attention - one at the University of Wisconsin and one at Tulane.

The Tulane incident has new Orleans police still looking for five members of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity there. Five other arrests have already been made in that incident. The hazing there allegedly included pouring boiling water on pledges.

Frat Hazings at Tulane, U of Wisconsin

In the incident at the University of Wisconsin, members of Sigma Phi Epsilon have been accused of dumping a bucket of "indecent substances" on other frat members. Frat leadership is disavowing the incident and saying that, while it did occur after an initiation, the bucket dumping wasn't approved by frat leaders.

Mike Miesen, president of the UW chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon, "We are a non-hazing fraternity - Sigma Phi Epsilon doesn't haze. We have a very proud system that makes them feel like they are not being hazed."
