Fraternity pledging has allegedly been taken to a whole new level at the University of Nebraska, where Sigma Chi fraternity which has been suspended for hazing. According to court documents the fraternity allowed a stripper to use a vibrator to anally penetrate a fraternity pledge during an initiation party.

Documents unsealed Tuesday in Lancaster County District Court show UNL police began investigating the local chapter after a former pledge told police in February that repeated hazing incidents — including one in which he was assaulted with a vibrator — had taken a toll on his well-being.

The pledge alleged he and others had been subjected to hazing from October through early 2009 as part of the initiation process into the fraternity.

He said pledges were, among other things, verbally assaulted in what was billed as a “character-building” activity and forced to drink shots of Tabasco sauce and vodka until they vomited. They also were ordered to leap-frog each other around the fraternity house while being pelted with ice, wet paper towels and toilet paper by older members in an exercise called “Busy as a Bee.”

Listen, I can’t speak from experience, but I think the only thing that will have more of toll on someone’s well-being (than getting a vibrator taken to their hoop) is going to the police and having your name attached to said incident in police reports and newspaper columns.

As far as the other Fraternity activities, you’re damn right they were character building. How else are you supposed to know how to treat the incoming pledges the following semester, unless the current brothers show you how?
