Among the revelations about hazing at WSU is this: Some people don't know what it is
On one October night last fall, the newest members of the Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity at Washington State University were allegedly told to line up in the "party room," with their knees and noses touching the wall. The lights went dark. Pillowcases were put over their heads. Forty-ounce bottles of Hurricane malt liquor were tied to their hands.
Finish the bottles, the members were told, and they'd be let off the wall. It was a game they called "Edward Forty-Hands."
The alleged incident described above is one of several allegations of hazing at the Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity detailed in official records obtained by the Inlander. The investigation, by the university and the fraternity's national headquarters, eventually led to the frat being shut down in December.
