TULANE STUDENTS FACE CHARGES IN HAZING INJURIES
NEW ORLEANS - Ten Tulane University students faced felony battery charges Wednesday and their fraternity was suspended after accusations that the group burned pledges with hot water and pepper spray during a "hell night" initiation.
Police said two Pi Kappa Alpha pledges received second- and third-degree burns last month from boiling water and crab boil being poured on their bodies and were treated at a hospital. Crab boil is a hot spice added to water to boil crabs.
