Two young men, identified by police as leaders of a banned University of Wisconsin fraternity, were arrested for an alleged horrific hazing incident.
Fraternity president Brayden J Klein and vice president Samuel N Vane, both 20, were taken into custody by the Madison Police on Wednesday.
The officers arrived at the location at 8.20pm after they received an ‘anonymous tip' about the events that were taking place at the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity, located along the 100 block of Langdon Street, Madison, about 80 miles west of Milwaukee.
They allegedly found 30 half-clothed teens covered in ‘food, condiments, and other liquids’ in a grungy, sweltering basement.
‘A thermostat in the room was set to 81 degrees creating hot and humid conditions,’ the department report said.
The majority of the victims were recognized as 18-year-olds, the police added.
Klein and Vane were arrested and taken to Dane County Jail for disorderly conduct over the alleged hazing.
No other charges have been announced in relation to the incident, CBS News reported. The Madison Police Department said that the investigation remains ‘ongoing and active.’

“And then you’ll make us ‘handmaids’….
Hardly. But women have shown repeatedly that you simply cannot be trusted with political power. It’s that simple.
I didn’t make you. Take it up with God.

I guess all the women on Free Republic should leave, if that is how we’re thought of here.
(I think you’d be surprised how many of us there are; and what our annual donations amount to. But if we’re not needed and are so disrespected here, we can just go...)
I remember that building well. I lived on the same block in the Evans Scholars house in the early 80s. It still looks the same.
It will never go away completely, and college kids are pretty childish.

Search still works.
We had to wear burlap underwear during Hell Week. Pro tip - find some scissors and cut some nipple holes in the top.
“I guess all the women on Free Republic should leave, if that is how we’re thought of here.”
When did I say that? You’re free to stay or go as your emotions dictate. That’s how women operate anyway.
It’s not my fault that you’re vastly outnumbered by AWFLs. In fact I’d posit that FR ladies are the exceptions that prove the rule.
What should have your panties in a wad is how many of your sex have ruined it for the minority of you who have some semblance of sanity.
So go after them.

They aren’t the ones who insulted me. YOU did, by making blanket statements about women being unworthy of political power.
You and others like you make this a very inhospitable place for women, and cause us to reconsider what we’re doing here and why we should stay.
and only men should vote,you know because they are so rational and disciplined..
I disagree with your statement.
You are wrapping a, “forever” around serious brotherhoods of young men who enjoy the company of gentlemen, picked to join and be called brother to one another.
Yes, there are some negative stories but the worthy chapters of worthy Fraternities stand alone. Hazing has its boundaries and is always controlled by the worthy brothers.
The fraternity involved reflects on Wisconsin, the State, shame on them.
81 DEGREES IN WISCONSIN IN THE SUMMERTIME IS NOT “SWELTERING”.
WAS RAISED THERE. THAT IS A VERY PLEASANT DAY TEMP
BESSIE BRADDOCK: Winston, you are drunk, and what’s more you are disgustingly drunk.
WINSTON CHURCHILL: Bessie, my dear, you are ugly, and what’s more, you are disgustingly ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be disgustingly ugly.
It is no secret that men are notoriously stupid when we are younger. (and yes, I concede, even when we get older)
I tell my wife of my exploits as a stupid boy, teenager, and young man, and she shakes her head in disbelief. It took me a long time to leave recklessness, stupidity, and foolhardiness behind me. When I tell her those things, she can only shake her head. She insists she or the girls she knew never did the risky or stupid things I did.
It's also no secret on the bell curve describing human IQ, that in the extreme tail of that curve as it flattens out and approaches pure genius, males are disproportionately represented. This is known.
What is not as well known is that on that same curve as it flattens out and approaches pure moron, males are also disproportionally represented. (as you can guess, we don't advertise this part much, but if you ever watch any of the "Jackass" movies, or seen that hilarious classic video of the "Butt-rocket Boy" (Note: Do not click on the link if seeing some stupid young guy bare his butt to prove he has the stupidity to do this)
And it is also well known that a lot of men grow out of that crazy behavior. (I have always been a proponent of the belief that women, who mature more quickly than we do, provide a moderating presence in our lives once we stop trying to impress them and chase them around!)
So the people who retort might well follow Churchill's mechanism:
GIRL: Dear boy, you are insanely stupid and reckless, and what’s more you are so disgustingly foolhardy that you don't display the brains to actually vote.
BOY: My dear girl, you are batsh*t crazy and what's more, you definitely shouldn't be allowed to vote, but I will grow up in a few years and learn as a man to be intelligent, circumspect, and careful, and you will still be too bash*t crazy to be allowed to vote.

They were all closed in a room with the thermostat at 81 and the large group seemed to be very active, in Minnesota when the temps outside were well below zero the unheated basements that we would have keg parties in would he hot and humid, and opening the basement windows barely helped.
You MUST be disciplined!
We ARE rational and disciplined...once we reach the age of 21...oh, wait...40! Uhhh...65?
Well, we get there eventually. Someday. Or at least, some of us.
That was funny, well done.
Absolutely!
Well, maybe...we should raise it then to 40! Uhhh...65? Well, we get there eventually. Someday. Or at least, some of us.

If you read the article linked to, there’s mention of Alpha Epsilon Pi being a traditionally Jewish frat. It was founded back in the early 1900s by Jewish students denied membership in most university frats. Nothing to do with Yogi.
I can’t even discuss the hazing they did in Navy to the new guys to our squadron back in the Seventies...it sounds too outlandish and crazy to someone who wasn’t there.
Different times.
