Cool story about your frat, bro.

Given what I've heard some frats do since they can no longer physically harm you, I'd take the paddling.

FTFM.
I'm about ready to write an add-on that would automatically highlight you're and your, their, they're and there, and its and it's, etc.; just to avoid these typos.

At first glance I thought that said "Fat guys run 45 miles carrying Christmas tree". I thought, "Wow, good use of the tag. That's awesome, fat people."
Then I realized it said "frat" and ceased to care.

That's what we did... went to a country road, chopped one down off the side of the road, carried it up. In the dark. With sharp axes.
I refused to let the guys in my car steal Christmas decorations from people's lawns. Not sure if that's why I was depledged or not, but I feel better for not letting it happen.

Thanks for the inflammatory headline, but three sentences into the article it becomes clear that this is a charitable fun run to benefit YouthAIDS. So no, it's not hazing.
Back in college, as a member of Kappa Alpha Psi, we did a little of what you might actually call hazing. Our fraternity house had this creepy old brick basement, built around 1900, and there was an old copper washtub where supposedly they used to drown unwanted people. Well, we'd send a pledge down there, pitch dark, wait till it was real quiet, and then jump out of the corridors and grab the poor guy. We'd slam him face down into the tub and as a few guys punched him, I'd hold his head under water until he passed out. Then we'd strip him down, wrap him up tight in wet blankets, and drag him into the walk-in freezer. We'd leave him in there overnight. Brothers for life.

The founder of Fredonia, Mr. Fred Frederickson, would be proud to know his little town is part of such an inspiring tradition.

Not sure if serious....
But if you are, doesn't sound like hazing to me--sounds more like attempted murder.

I'm guessing the sticky stuff on their hands wasn't pine sap.

I'd have believe this is you'd also said that the entire house bum-raped him after he passed out.

When I was an undergrad, our house Christmas tree was only carried a short distance from the woodlot where it was cut. Mind you, it was over 30 feet tall and the guys tried to ram it into our rival residence*, but that is as it may be.
*A resident of the rival residence was on the student police force, so it never happened. Which is a pity, because ramming it through the administration building wasn't as much fun and it would have been a good pay-back for the home made cannon** incident.
**Technically it was a home made mortar. Rather crude, but that was the undergraduate body all over.

What they don't tell you is each "brother" must do this tree-run with a pine-cone up his ass, is what.
