Four Oklahoma State fraternity members accused of beating a pledge last year have pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor hazing charge as part of a plea deal.
Alpha Phi Alpha members Jason Taylor, Joshua Goree, Mitchel McCowan and Michael Combs were accused of beating the pledge with paddles and other items.
The four were sentenced Thursday in Payne County District Court to write 1,250-word papers on hazing, pay a total of $3,755 in restitution and perform community service work.
Co-defendant Lyall Storandt pleaded no contest to the charge in November and was given a similar sentence.
The sixth co-defendant — Cory Cox — is scheduled for trial in June.
OSU banned the fraternity after the incident.
