Frat gets in trouble for hiring midget wrestling company
At a frat rush event, the Half Pint Brawlers simulated sex, jumped off a ladder onto one another and stapled each other in the face. Attendees cheered and chanted, urging the performers to "Hit him with a chair!" and "Do it again!" Northwestern University is investigating possible hazing violations. (Daily Northwestern)

If they want to have midget wrestling, who cares? Its not like they were beating up pledges or something. Personally, I'd rather make my own friends and throw my own parties without worrying about getting in trouble for violating stupid rules. But then again, I was never dumb enough to rush a fraternity...

Typical lame fraternity stunt.

Hey, this fraternity is providing an important public service: giving lame-ass dorks who think midget wrestling is funny a place to hang out and get drunk together.

Who doesn't think midget wrestling is funny?
Isn't that the midget's business model?

Like seriously where can I hire these tiny people?

How is this 'hazing'? I don't get it. I don't know how long I'd find midget wrestling entertaining, but I'd definitely check it out!

What, no midget puns? Wassup with you guys? I'd try to think of one, but my mind is short of imagination. Maybe I need to drink a pint... Crap.

Fraternities are an integral and important rite of passage for most college men. The increasing attacks on fraternities are a result of the increasing pussification of college administrations, due in significant part to the hiring of man-hating feminists into decision-making positions.

Some midgets were hired by a frat
To stage an extreme midget spat.
They do it for money,
But violence -- funny?
Northwestern won't tolerate that.

Yep, that's what the Half Pint Brawlers do. They brought 'em to one of our local bars up here in Alaska and people were given the complete show in all of its face stapling horror. Not my idea of entertainment, but no one should be surprised by this.

Typical comment from people who wouldn't get asked to be in a fraternity.

Midgets need to earn a living too. Personally, my tastes in midget performance art run to the highbrow, such as a midget on an elephant or a midget dressed like a bride standing next to an orangutan in a tuxedo, top hat, monocle, and holding a martini, but really, lets not split hairs. So What. Did anyone get hurt? Are these kids failing out of school? Someone had to have done this before, now all the sudden it's a problem?

I was never in a fraternity, but I ended up getting "pimped" at one. I was at a party where I drank WAY TOO MUCH and passed out. Back in the day being pimped had a whole different connotation than today. I awoke hungover as sh*t to find my face had a magic marker racing stripe...right between the eyes all the way down to my navel. Good times...effin frat brats.

"Typical comment from people who wouldn't get asked to be in a fraternity."
That's funny, because every time I ever visited a frat house, I was pretty much begged to join by every guy there. So don't pretend that it is an exclusive club that only the cool kids can be in. Why do you think frats try to show off with midget wrestling parties? So they can attract more guys to call "bro" and play mushy biscuit.
Where I went to school, probably 90% of campus was non-greek. The real parties weren't on frat row, they were in off-campus housing. Maybe it is different at other schools? Somehow I doubt it...
