Oklahoma State Greeks Trying to Whack Hazing

Local Fraternities and Sororities Ban Together Against Hazing

A group of Greek students at Oklahoma State University met this week to discuss how tougher legislation in the state may put an end to hazing at campus fraternities and sororities.

About two months ago, a group of six brothers from the university's chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha were said to have hit several pledges with paddles.

"On one victim his buttocks, the flesh was torn down to the muscle until there was no skin left," said a police officer.

The students at the meeting this week said tough laws may help students think twice before the participate in hazing-related activities with their organization. The students even hope to talk with state lawmakers to encourage more stringent hazing prevention laws.
