Police are investigating whether two Ohio State University students, treated for burns after being engulfed in flames at a party, were hazing victims. The university placed the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity on interim suspension after a video circulated showing a group surrounding the burning students. The incident occurred Saturday. A student reported the possible hazing after seeing the video. The victims were treated for second- and third-degree burns. Ohio's "Collin’s Law," signed in 2021, toughens penalties for hazing. Ohio State maintains a public list of hazing violations, but Sigma Alpha Epsilon hasn't appeared on it in the last five years.
