Two more New England College students have been arrested on hazing charges linked to a pledging ceremony last fall.

Henniker police say 25-year-old Nicholas Weiss and 22-year-old Kevin Phelps used a World War II-era bayonet, which wasn’t connected to a rifle, to brand at least seven students during the pledging ceremony at the Sigma Alpha Beta fraternity.

The Concord Monitor reports they were each charged with four misdemeanor counts of student hazing related to the Oct. 25 incident. Seven students were arrested in March.

Police started investigating after several pledges admitted themselves to the infirmary with severe burn-related injuries.

Fraternity. It’s synonymous with brotherhood. Or maybe it’s the very definition of brotherhood. And like real brotherhood’s charlie horses, dead legs, rat tails, and atomic sit-ups, there are major prices to having a fraternity brother as well: member dues, emergency keg funds, stripper fees, and hospital bills. As many freshmen think about which fraternity to join on campus, they have to ask themselves: Am I willing to pay that price? If your answer is a meager, “No thanks,” then we wish you the best of luck in your collegiate endeavors, you g*ddamn independent. If your answer is a hearty, “Yes,”  then you need to know exactly what you’re getting into – what kind of “brothers” you’ll be pledging with, beer-bonging with, keg-tossing with, and threesoming with. Luckily, we at COED have put together a handy little cheat sheet to help freshmen – and those slacker sophomores who regret not pledging the year before – navigate the Greek scene by profiling each kind of “Frat Guy.” (more…)

Instant Impact Freshman of ‘09 College Basketball

It’s never too late to talk college basketball – Midnight Madness was last week after all.

“Monster Man” John Moffitt Scares Women

As if things couldn’t have gotten any worse after our fourth-straight loss at the hands of Iowa on Saturday … when we got back to Camp Randall that evening, I once again scared the living daylights out of a poor young woman just trying to get out of the McClain Center.

As most of you know by now, I’m a rather large guy and have a lot of intimidating facial hair. Even though both of these characteristics help me on the football field, they can be a hindrance in my daily life. [UW Badgers]

Suspended Frat Pokes Fun At Their Situation

Eight months after the university suspended Alpha Tau Omega for hazing pledges, former ATO members rolled through Saturday’s homecoming parade in a chicken float. A sign,  “Hungry like the pledge,” hung across the truck’s side and a man in a chicken suit ran around the float.

The University of Nevada, Reno no longer recognizes ATO as an official organization after it found them guilty of feeding pledges raw chicken and branding recruits on the buttocks with dry ice. The suspended fraternity is eligible to reapply for status in fall 2010. [Nevada Sagebrush]

I was a bit late when it came to losing my V-Card. Almost every one of my friends handed that thing in long (and I mean looong) before me. It wasn’t that I was waiting for loooooove, or saving myself for marriage; it was just that I had never had a boyfriend and wasn’t ready to give it up to some rando from a frat party.

I wasn’t all loud-and-proud about my virgin status and I wasn’t ashamed. I just was.

When I finally did find myself in a good relationship I decided it was time to wipe the cobwebs off the V-Card and hand that sh*t in. Ok, so maybe I didn’t treat the situation with such ease, but I did finally feel comfortable enough with someone to take the naked plunge.

I thought it was best to tell the guy straight up. I really wanted to be honest with him so he knew where I was coming from…and why it was so damn painful. So, when he began to initiate sex a little while into our relationship I laid it all on the table.

“I just want you to know that I have never been in a real relationship before.” I began.

He looked bored. (more…)

If I was still in college right now, I’d be peeing my pants with excitement over this awesome new development in alcoholism.

The Portopong!

Yes, yes, the summer is almost over (10 days and counting) but if you have access to a pool and a group of fun-loving friends, the Portopong is where it’s at. What college student doesn’t love a good game of pong? And in a pool no less? Yea, how about no less than amazing.

Just to make sure, we’re talking about this kind of pong, not this kind. (more…)

With the return of classes comes the return of dorm hookups, frat parties, beer pong competitions, and keg stands. It’s all fun and games, until someone loses an eye!

I don’t mean to get all Mom on you, but all of us have had at least one partying experience that ends in waking up with a hangover, vowing, “I’m never drinking again. No, seriously. Never again.â€?

Usually, this vow holds up until the next happy hour…

And now that school has started up for most of us and we are finally getting into our college routine, here comes National Campus Safety Awareness Month!

Unfortunately, when it comes to words of warning, cliché advice like “watch how much you drinkâ€? and “don’t go home with strangersâ€? often goes in one ear and out the other, until you find yourself still tipsy, doing the walk of shame back to your dorm.

So, keeping in mind that you won’t be abstaining from alcohol or random hookups all together in the name of campus safety, here are my tips for keeping yourself safe: (more…)

Last year for the first time ever, TIME magazine rated YouTube as its 2006 “Person of the Year.â€? Ummm…last time I checked, a person was a living, breathing, beer funneling, pong playing human – not some silicon chip powered by electricity. Well, in reality TIME claimed that we, the YouTubers were all TIME’s Person of The Year. So, in some twisted way my ego is boosted.

There is a theory in history known as the “Great Manâ€? theory. Thomas Carlyle was largely responsible for the belief that “the history of the world is but the biography of great men,â€? or in dumbed down frat language, that the few and powerful shape our society. With YouTube, and the explosion of other community driven sites and tools, that theory took some serious heat last year.

Fast forward to the beautiful year of 2007 and the growth continues, with some really wacky ideas and sites emerging. All of these sites share a common thread, they deliver on our crack-like addition to on-demand data 24/7, anywhere and by any means possible. (more…)
