The Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity at the University of Tennessee has been suspended for 30 days
after what police are calling an alleged alcohol enema incident. Or as some are calling it
- butt chugging. CNN’s Anderson Cooper has the official statement from police.
Cooper: “It is believed that members of the fraternity were using rubber tubing inserted
into their rectums as a conduit for alcohol.” (Official statement via Knoxville Police Dept
spokesman Darrell DeBusk)
A conduit -- possibly to speed up the process of getting drunk.
Alcohol entered into the *** bypasses the liver and enters the bloodstream faster. Anchors
were um, bebuttled. Excuse me, befuddled.
Cooper: “Butt chugging, I’m not kidding, Thank
you.”
Meade: “I don’t know what to think about this.”
Meade: “What
in the world is the point?”
Well, to get drunk, we’re guessing. But the boys
weren’t broin’ out with beer -- boxed wine was the butt chug beverage of choice.
And
maybe, as some are suggesting, it was all a form of hazing. Either way, WBIR in Tennessee
reports almost everyone involved ended up in trouble one way or another.
“It
sent one UT student to the hospital, police also found three other people passed out inside
that fraternity house. Police named 27 people on the report. 13 marked as suspects. One
other, a victim.”
So far only one student faces charges, for disorderly conduct. The
student who was sent to the hospital was in critical condition. He is now ok.
