6 students at New York college arrested in hazing probe
BROCKPORT, N.Y. (AP) — Members of an unrecognized fraternity at a state college tortured a rat as part of illegal hazing that occurred inside the group's house, according to police who announced charges against nine men on Thursday.
The men, including six current and three former students at the College at Brockport, were part of an organization known as the Delts, according to the college. The organization operated as a fraternity despite the fact that its charter was revoked by the Delta Sigma Phi national fraternity in 2001.
The organization had been on law enforcement's radar for years because of complaints from students and community members, said University Police Chief Dan Vasile.
