Frats have deep pockets and a good lawyer could probably teach them that pulling those types of ‘pranks’ can be expensive.
Some definite parallels between this incident and what happened to Breitbart in Searchlight.

If this is as it appears, Beck should use it as a “teachable moment” on his television show.
UCF campus, the Kappa Sigma fraternity has been suspended for hazing at a fraternity party pillow fight and for writing on a member with markers while he slept.
Students having fun on campus Friday night said they’re fed up by what appears to be UCF’s double-discipline standard.
UCF representatives said they had video proof of the hazing at Kappa Sigma, but not in Douarin’s death.

October 3,2008
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — Two University of Central Florida fraternities are accused of hazing, one for hitting a member with a pillow and the other accused of punching a pledge in the chest. That pledge mysteriously died from heart trouble hours later.
The university punished the first frat for the pillow fight, but refuses to fully investigate the pledge’s death. Both complaints came in anonymously.
The first was an e-mail tip accusing UCF’s Kappa Sigma fraternity of drawing on a sleeping frat member with markers and hitting him with a pillow. The second was a Crimeline call to UCF police blaming hazing for the death of student Mcandy Douarin at the hands of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity.
Against the victim’s requests, UCF’s Office of Student Conduct investigated the pillow fight and suspended that frat. But in the other case, despite the family’s requests, UCF refuses to investigate the death.
