Unrecognized Fraternity At CMU Allegedly Smeared Peanut Butter On The Face Of A Pledge With A Peanut Allergy

So this story out of Central Michigan University has me thinking that food allergies might in fact be a real thing.

I have to hear both sides.

Did Seely previously express to his fraternity that the mere thought of peanuts would blow the orbital sockets out of his dome? Was this a premeditated attack or a nutty crime of passion? Did he pass out with his shoes on? What is he thinking with that goatee?

If the brothers of Alpha Chi Rho truly had knowledge that this stunt would turn the poor kid into a peanut-induced Elephantiasis freak show, that’s as cold blooded a move as they could have pulled. Like I get being extremely skeptical that food allergies legitimately exist, but (allegedly) actually testing your doubts on a pledge is downright diabolical. At the very least have an EpiPen ready to go on the off chance you’re wrong. Haze responsibly, guys.

Seriously though, I’m glad Seely was able to live to see another day. Death by peanut butter wouldn’t even be a good ice cream flavor, let alone an honorable way to say deuces to this crazy, fucked up world.

    Alpha Chi Rho is not an active Fraternity on this campus. They were denied reinstatement by IFC this fall. They are essentially geeds who enjoy beating the shit out of each other.

      Glad the kid is OK but, the real question is what brand peanut butter they used.

        Skippy crunch is the only brand that gets crunchy right. Everyone else you either need to mix in some creamy because it’s too crunchy or mix in some crunchy because it’s too creamy.

      Sounds like the kid didn’t get a bid to any of the real houses, then joined AXP since they probably let everyone in. That way he could sabotage the rest of the Fraternities as payback. Now I’m not superstitious, I’m just a littlestitious..

    Leaving visible marks from hazing is a rookie move. It’s the psychological scars that really count

    There’s no way they didn’t realize he had a peanut allergy, why else would they have rubbed peanut butter on his face- the worlds shittiest hazing ritual?

    “If we ignored people’s allergies then the weak would die off eventually via natural selection and we would be a much stronger species in the long run. I don’t believe peanut allergies existed before 1980” – Science

    I once had peanutbutter smeared on my balls. It was a far different situation though.
