BOSTON (CBS) – Five nearly naked college students were found shivering in a Brighton basement Monday, tied together with duct tape.
Boston Police say they found the group terrified and humiliated. There were also signs the Boston University students may have been beaten.
The early morning raid left police officers stunned.
No one answered the door at 24 Ashford Street Monday night, but when police responded early Monday morning, they found the male students circled in the basement, stripped to their underwear.
Police responded to the house after a call about a loud party.
According to police:
“All five were shivering and had horrified and fearful looks on their faces. They were all tied together via duct tape wrist to wrist to form a human chain. Officer asked if they were alright and got no verbal answer. Victim looked right at Officer and with tears coming down his face shook his head from right to left and back indicating no.”
Police say several condiment-type items were poured on the students, including flour,coffee grinds, fish sauce, chili sauce, honey, hot sauce, mustard, and empty sardine cans.
The students also had red welts on their backs, investigators said, indicating that they may have been beaten.
Police say it’s an underground fraternity, Alpha Epsilon Pi.
A Boston University spokesperson told WBZ-TV that members of the same unrecognized fraternity were already under investigation for a previous incident.
Last month, the school cut ties with a sorority on Ashford Street after another alleged hazing incident.
“We hold all of our students accountable for any violation of the code of student responsibilities, whether it happens on or off campus. We are very concerned for the alleged victims,” B.U. spokesman Colin Riley said in a statement.
There were no arrests, but police are considering criminal charges.

Fraternities have a long history of being a refuge for homosexuals on college campuses around the nation.
News like this is not surprising, but does shed light on fraternities adoption of the homosexual agenda.
Boston Police Probe Second Alleged Hazing

Nine students BU officials believe to be members of the unrecognized fraternity Alpha Epsilon Pi (AEPi) are under investigation by police from the BU Police Department and the Boston Police Department for allegedly hazing five other students, also apparently brothers. The incident was discovered early Monday morning by Boston police responding to a complaint of a loud party at 24 Ashford Street in Allston. According to a Boston police report, the officers found five apparent pledges dressed only in their underwear standing in the basement, covered with various food ingredients and with their hands bound together. Further investigation revealed red welts on the backs of the alleged victims.

Perhaps they were seeking to protect themselves from sexually transmitted disease.
I my case, we remodeled the bathrooms, and stripped and rebuilt the deck. Much better team building with out all the s&m bull scat.
It (confronting the active members) was a real turning point in my life. At 19, I decided that there are lines I will not cross no matter what, and helped others do so. The seniors wanted to kick us all out, even if the house went bankrupt.
My oldest daughter is a year away from her Chemical Engineer degree at one of the biggest party schools in the nation. She is in a sorority of female engineers, all types, agricultural to nuclear. It’s a bunch of nerdy geeks and they network and bond for life without any hazing. It’s a cool group of focused young ladies and this weekend is family day and I’ll be playing softball with them and a lot of their parents. I can’t wait
I've never understood the attraction to fraternities and sororities. Seems to me that they prey upon the weak and immature who are unable to function on their own in the absence of mommy and daddy providing for their every need.
Explulsion, followed by jail time. Let’s see, kidnapping, assault, what else?
Mark Zuckerburg’s fraternity, as well as my brother AND dad. I never felt the need to join one. Just as good, I’d have blood in my eyes right now if this happened to me . . .
I wish that was all that I had to endure during BCT back in early ‘71.
This is the same stupid BS that happens at camp. Bunch a loons were doing crap to kids at 2am; dragging them outta their bunks and shaving a leg or something. They came for me I came out with a 4-1/2 inch fishing knife and offered to fillet the firs SOB who laid a hand on me. The hazing s#!+ stopped dead cold right there.
I like good fun, a decent roast, and a good ribbing as much as the next guy; you TOUCH me and you’re an ER case — like — NOW.
“Same here. It was a way of separating wimps from men. “
I find that quite funny

“I always wonder what go awful thing did they do to become a member. “
It pales in comparison to what you have to do to join the military.
I’m a faculty adviser for a fraternity. Most of the hazing comes from the pledges themselves. They want to do something that makes them stand out so they can say “We had it much worse than you guys”. We frown on paddles but the pledges want them for their walls.
The worst thing the brothers do is make them wear a tie once a week. They act like they are being tortured.
The best thing that they are required to have a higher GPA than campus and the highest GPA frats get the best pledges.
Highest GPA last year : Zeta Beta Tau(Zion Bank & Trust), the Jewish house.
Wow! At first I thought this was Baylor (Baptist) U., which still wouldn’t be surprising.
” Yeah, I’m going to let some little chicken necked, khaki wearing little f$ck, with popped collars and unique (just like all the others) dress code beat, humiliate and hurt me. Nah, I’d rather join the Marines and let the pros do that. If any of my college classmates had tried that, I’d be in prison and they’d be female quadriplegics. “
Nailed it.
if it is unrecognized how does the university claim jurisdiction?
