Quaker school student loses a testicle in bizarre hazing

LINK

A Wilmington College student lost a testicle in a bizarre ritual involving nudity, according to Eric Owens.

Excerpt

“Things went horribly wrong for Lawrence, the affidavit says, when frat members began flicking the pledges with towels fashioned with knots at the ends for maximum pain infliction.

One of the frat members flicked Lawrence in the testicles. He fell to the ground in agony but the hazing ritual nevertheless continued.

Frat members later took Lawrence to a nearby hospital because he complained about persistent pain after the ceremony was over.”
