February 19, 2026
Police responding to a routine fire alarm found 56 college students in a basement. Most of them were shirtless and blindfolded standing in the dark. Police were told the students were fraternity pledges. The alleged hazing incident took place in 2024 but the video was recently released. One man was arrested and charged with interference with official acts. His attorney says the charges were dismissed. The University of Iowa says it has suspected the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity for the next four years.
