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:
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.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.

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
