Four members of the Texas Rho Chapter of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon frat at the University of Texas have been charged after strange tales of their pledge-hazing rituals surfaced.

Three members were charged with hazing (punishable by six months in prison and $2,000 fine), and another was charged with failure to report hazing. (Source: The Daily Texan)
