The Dark Side of Fraternity Rituals: When Brotherhood Becomes Brutality The arrest of Secret Service agent Marquez Christopher Pinder on charges related to a brutal hazing ritual at the University of Miami's Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity has raised questions about how such atrocities can occur under the guise of brotherhood.
Pinder, 29, was placed on administrative leave as he faces suspicion of attempted manslaughter with a deadly weapon, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, and hazing with a deadly weapon.
Pinder held the title "dean of pledges," which raises concerns about the culture within the fraternity and how someone in such a high ranking position could be involved in something so heinous.
