An Ohio State University fraternity is being investigated after video of two young men seemingly on fire circulated online over the weekend.
The Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity was placed on “interim suspension” pending a full investigation, according to a statement Sunday from OSU. The administration described it as an “extremely concerning incident” and noted that it referred the matter to law enforcement.
“Ohio State is committed to a safe and healthy environment and expects students and student organizations to uphold that commitment and the university’s values,” the statement said.
OSU suspends, investigates frat after disturbing video 00:00 00:00 The video posted online starts with someone in a sweatsuit on the ground with his pants engulfed in flames. That individual gets up and tackles another person in a matching sweatsuit, resulting in the second person’s clothing being ignited.
Both of the men then run around and attempt to shed their clothing while others come in to help them stamp out the flames, according to the video.
A second video shot from a different angle appears to show that the second individual’s pant leg was already on fire when he was tackled. It also showed a bystander seemingly struggling to use a fire extinguisher as others tried to help snuff out the flames.
The incident appeared to occur Saturday on a block near the university, according to a statement from the Columbus Police Department. There were no initial calls about the matter Saturday but the department was alerted Sunday about the video that was circulating online.

Hazing not blazing!
You should label links as a song rather than post them as information on the topic.
The worst treatment I received was being dragged out of bed and tossed in the cold mud half naked, followed by an ice cold shower etc. In my pledge class, I was the first pledge selected and the last to be sworn in as a brother. I warned them that they’d pay dearly for any hazing. All in good fun. Dirty deeds done dirt cheap.
Wouldn’t both men have ended up in the hospital?!
Well done.
What did I just watch ⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️
Two kids on fire and no one helps them ⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️
Thank God for lawsuits. Those two just earned a PhD in what ever.
That is probably how this story really got out.
Sleep And Eat is hazing? That usually requires effort. The bong must have been faulty.
Between this and Cornell 7 stuff just. Honestly…Insanity.
Only the weakest and most useless join a frat.
Hope you are proud.

“Appears” to show two people on fire?!
What is wrong with reporters today?
It DOES show two people on fire.

We had a night similar to that in basic at Ft. Polk, we were brought out in our underwear in the rain about midnight or later into an asphalt platoon area and made to do a push up, and then throw our arms out so that our bare chests would hit the asphalt, I don’t remember how many times we did it.
Between this and Cornell 7. It’s not Animal House. More like insane asylum?
Politician tryouts
Medium well, at least.
