Cmon bruh. You are 45 damn years old and you're rubbing lotion on another man's body to join a fraternity?
This lowkey sounds like an underground sex club
Am I being April Fooled?


http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/crime/dc-man-alleges-he-was-hazed-sues-fraternity-and-police-officer/2015/03/31/84162710-d743-11e4-8103-fa84725dbf9d_story.html

A D.C. man is suing Kappa Alpha Psi for more than $2 million, claiming he was hazed by a Prince George’s County police officer leading the fraternity’s membership intake for an alumni chapter of the organization earlier this year.

Harry Draughn Jr., 45, alleges he was beaten, smacked with a cane and told to perform tasks in his underwear as a spring 2015 pledge of the Hyattsville/Landover Alumni Chapter of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity, according to court documents filed Tuesday morning.

The suit names the fraternity and one of the chapter’s intake chairmen, Jesse Stewart Jr., as defendants and identifies Stewart as a Prince George’s County police officer.

Draughn’s attorney, Jimmy Bell, said Kappa Alpha Psi has nationally had issues with hazing in the past, issuing a moratorium on membership intake last fall before lifting the ban in January.

“It makes no sense that a month later my client is being hazed,” Bell said. “They didn’t fix the problems. That is failed leadership.”

Stewart, the national Kappa Alpha Psi organization based in Pennsylvania and the local alumni chapter in Maryland did not return calls seeking comment.

The Prince George’s County Police Department suspended Stewart and launched an investigation upon learning of the allegations, officials said. Stewart is listed as a “2nd Vice Polemarch” on the fraternity’s Web site.

“When one of our officers is accused of wrongdoing, we take those allegations seriously,” Police Chief Mark A. Magaw said in a statement released Tuesday. “The Prince George’s County Police Department holds our officers to high standards whether they are on or off duty.”

Stewart, who was off duty at the time of the allegations, has worked for the police department for 21 years and is assigned to the Criminal Investigation Division, county police said.

Draughn, a graduate of North Carolina A&T State University, said he had never joined a fraternity as a student and became interested in the local chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi for the camaraderie and the group’s commitment to community service. Draughn said he paid $3,000 to become a member of the group in January but was denied a refund after he complained of the hazing.

During the intake process, Draughn and another potential member of the fraternity were told to take off their pants and socks and “perform tasks around house in their underwear,” the suit claims. They were also asked inappropriate personal questions about their sex lives and were told to rub lotion on Stewart’s body, according to the complaint.

Draughn alleges he was beaten as part of the hazing, claiming Stewart smacked him and another pledge “on their bottoms with a cane” in February, the court documents state. A second beating occurred in March before Draughn quit, he said.

“Since the beating on March 23, 2015, Plaintiff has had to sit on a pillow while driving and is suffering from lower back pain, has not able to sleep, has felt depressed,” the lawsuit states.

“I’m not a quitter, and I wanted to see it through to the end,” said Draughn of why he continued with the process. “I didn’t want to let my line brothers down.”
