They were then lied up and had to stuff their mouths with cheese, while rubbing heat lotion all over their bodies. Doctors said they had no choice but to remove the student's damaged testicle and also found bruises and welts all over this body. But Mr Lawrence actually defended those who took part in a last year, claiming the incident was "not hazing."
He told local TV station WLWT: "It was a freak accident more than anything. It definitely wasn't meant to happen, not hazing whatsoever."
According to US law, hazing is a punishable offence with a maximum of 30 days in jail. It follows a long line of incidents at US universities and colleges where male and female students have been subjected to humiliating - and sometimes fatal - initiation ceremonies in order to gain entry to sorority or fraternity groups .
The Gamma Phi Gamma fraternity, founded in 1907, has since been disbanded.
