SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - The University of California, Berkeley has suspended a fraternity whose members hazed a pledge by repeatedly firing a BB gun at him, the school said on Monday.
The prospective member of Pi Kappa Phi had been shot on April 8 at least 30 times and was later treated at a local hospital for welts and bruises.
School officials placed the fraternity on a so-called "interim" suspension, which bars members from any fraternity activities and strictly limits their use of their chapter house to residential purposes, such as eating and sleeping.
"We're also investigating students who were actually involved in the alleged shooting," said university spokeswoman Marie Felde.
Earlier this year, a pledge at a California State University, Chico fraternity died from water poisoning in a hazing incident there.
Nice friends....
350 bucks a month in dues, get you "friends" for a lifetime, and sworn secrecy.
Even if they shoot you?
They should have used a hose packed with bb's, same effect, and no danger of the BB straying in your eye.
I was in a sorority, I love fraternities, but
THESE GUYS ARE MORONS!
Please God, let my sons grow up with more sense than that!
I knew guys in college who were hazed pretty bad, and laws were broken and nothing was ever said. I was in a sorority as well, and I can tell you if I ever had to go through something like that I would open my mouth about it and tell someone. If they had told me what had happened I probably would have said something. Its one thing to have fun, its another to be hurt physically.
Hey I was the one who signed up for keg partys and cute guys.. This guy went to Berkley, usually you hear about someone spilling bong-water instead!!!

Nice!!! How about the "fines"???
Agreed!
I would actually kick their butts out of school - but what do I know.
As long as they didn't shoot a horse . . .
"As long as they didn't shoot a horse . . ."
Well, if the horse could willfully join a frat--- say Mr. Ed, heck, why not? lol

Well, it is Berkely after all - I thought that sort of punishment was reserved for students exposed as conservatives.
LOL!!
A BB gun at Berkley? Heresey!!!!!
It was imported from Oakland...
Wait... then it would have been a 357.
Unless the Chinese smuggled it in, then it would be an AK, complete with training manual in street talk for the gang member.
I wonder who you can find to translate Chinese into Ebonics into FratBoyTalk.
Someone from Yale.
