ORLANDO, Fla. -- Officers responding to an apparent hazing ritual at a University of Central Florida fraternity house found students sick and crying in bizarre costumes that included pink fairy wings, women's panties, diapers and various wigs, according to a Local 6 News report.The Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity at UCF was suspended by its national office and has become the subject of a police investigation after three students were recently found so drunk that they had be rushed to a hospital.University police, acting on a tip, said they noticed loud, aggressive screaming and moaning coming from the SAE fraternity house.
"At first, students would not let police into the fraternity house because they said they were performing a ritual," Local 6's Louis Bolden said. "Apparently, that ritual included male students dressing up like women and drinking until they had to be hospitalized."An incident report indicated that a male in the fraternity was spotted wearing pink fairy wings and women's underwear and was not able to walk on his own.The report also said the officers found a man wearing a pink tank top, women's underwear and a blond wig was lying on the floor and vomited several times. Another male was sobbing on the floor wearing a rainbow colored wig and a diaper, the report said.Officers said the common area had a strong smell of urine and vomit."Officials are not ready to call the incident hazing but appropriate action will be taken," Bolden said."The University is looking into three possible concerns: misuse of alcohol, possible hazing and possible disorderly conduct," Director of UCF News and Information Linda Gray said. "The last thing in the world we want is for those kinds of things to happen."Bolden said depending on the alcohol levels of three student transported to a hospital, the senior members of the fraternity could face criminal charges.
