AUSTIN — Two former fraternity members at the University of Texas received four-day jail sentences Monday while two more each received a year of deferred adjudication in connection with hazing allegations that included shocking pledges with cattle prods and holding hot irons to their faces.

Will Evans and Austin Sherrill, both 23, pleaded no contest to charges of hazing and furnishing alcohol to minors. Evans was sentenced to four days in jail, 180 hours of community service and two years deferred adjudication. Sherrill received the same sentence, except he must complete 100 hours of community service.

Sherrill allegedly touched a hot iron to the face of two pledges, according to court documents.

Chase Bolding, the former president of the school's Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter, pleaded no contest to the same charges and received one year deferred adjudication and 100 hours of community service. Bolding had admitted in court to shocking pledges with a cattle prod.
