Kudos to the person reporting this incident
From the Tallahassee Democrat: According to the arrest report, on Tuesday nights, Sigma Chi pledges were lined up and told to hold the person’s shoulder in front of them. Sometimes the line was made to run, making it difficult to hold on and blindfolds were sometimes used. When a pledge would let go of a shoulder, Sigma Chi members would yell at them. Pledges would also be quizzed about the organization, and if a pledge got an answer wrong, the brothers would yell and curse at them. One pledge became so upset during one of these sessions that he left and dropped out of the pledge process, according to court documents….Pledges were also pressured to drink alcohol, according to police, particularly on “Big Brother Night,” when many pledges were given bottles of liquor and sent out to separate parties that included strippers. Many of the pledges had bottles of liquor taped to their hands and were encouraged to finish the bottle. Others were encouraged to race to get the alcohol down, according to court documents. A handful vomited as a result while others urinated on themselves, the police report said….
That investigation led to the arrests of Michael (Mikey) Salem, 21, Charles (Chuck) Kalb, 19, Alex Lavene, 21, and Tyler Linabury, 21.
