Fraternity Hazing Costs One Pledge A Testicle

If you’re willing to go through hazing in order to get a bunch of drunken idiots to accept you, you’re an idiot. Not that you deserve to lose a testicle, but a willingness to go through this to be accepted by a fraternity is pathological.

Fourteen members of a fraternity at a small Ohio college were arrested Thursday night and charged with hazing after their initiation rituals last October ended with a student in the hospital to have one of his testicles removed.

Gamma Phi Gamma, a local fraternity at Ohio’s small Wilmington College, put their pledges through a hazing ritual that included stripping naked and performing various demeaning acts in the basement of the “Gobbler House.”

ccording to charging documents, the blindfolded prospective members had to stuff their mouths with limburger cheese while rubbing Icy Hot on their bodies—including their groins. They were then ordered to “fuck a sheep” (which was actually a ball of stuffing).

But that’s not how Tyler Lawrence ended up needing emergency surgery to remove one of his balls.
The frat brothers allegedly beat the pledges with knotted-up towels, and one of them hit Lawrence so hard in the crotch that he immediately fell to the ground, clutching the area.
