Oklahoma State Hazers Head to Court

Frat Members Accused of Hazing Appear in Court

Three of the brothers accused of hazing from Oklahoma State University's Alpha Phi Alpha chapter appeared in court on Tuesday.

A total of six brothers from the chapter were charged with severely paddling pledges earlier this month. Since then, Oklahome State has suspended Alpha Phi Alpha for 15 years. One pledge came forward and said a total of five were severely beat with paddles. The police have since taken thos paddles to use as evidence if the case goes to trial.

It is the first case of hazing in the state of Oklahoma since the law was put into action in 1990. If found guilty, the brothers could face a fine of $500 and 90 days in county jail.
