University of Kansas frat boys get probation for paddling each other

Frat boys at the University of Kansas who smacked each other's

asses with paddles have been placed on a two-year probation, and have received

other sanctions, the University Daily Kansan reported. And, no, a paddling is not among the sanctions.

Last November, KU's Interfraternity Council violated the university's anti-hazing

policy when members of the

council's executive board smacked each other's asses with paddles after

a transition ceremony. Members apparently took turns making each other's butt cheeks rosy-red, which is pretty embarrassing since the the council is supposed to "promote a positive Greek image."



So here's the punishment, according to the UDK:

During the probation period, members will meet frequently with Nicholas

Kerhwald, student conduct officer, according to the release.

In addition to the probation, the IFC will be forced to:



  • Send at least two of its executive board members to the Novak

    Institute, an anti-hazing seminar in Colorado;

  • Hire an outside consultant to "review the hazing culture in the KU

    greek community and lead the implementation of recommended

    initiatives;"

  • Hold all future turnover meetings with a staff adviser present;
  • And apologize to fraternity members.


The IFC will have to pay for all expenses incurred.


Also, the council retained its president, Jay Trump. So a lot of talking and two lucky members get a trip to Colorado. I'd call it a slap on the wrist, but it's more of a smack on the ass.

Talking out of turn...that's a paddling. Looking out the window...that's a paddling. Staring at my sandals...that's a paddling. Paddling the school canoe...ooh, you better believe that's a paddling
