The University at Buffalo has suspended all fraternities and sororities and is investigating a 'potential' hazing incident that left a student on child support.
"The University at Buffalo community is deeply concerned about the health and well-being of our student whose injuries, Buffalo Police suspect, may have resulted from hazing overnight," the university said in a statement. "We are in contact with the student’s family and will provide whatever assistance and comfort we can during this very difficult time, as we hope for the very best for our student who is an undergraduate student at UB.
Neighbors said they saw two frat members carry a person out of the house overnight after authorities arrived. "This is a family neighborhood, there's families that live in these houses," Adam Rodriguez told WKBW. "Obviously, thank God there were no kids out here at that time because I believe that could have been a pretty traumatic experience. Even me, just seeing the body here ... that was pretty hardcore."
A Sigma Pi student at Ohio University died after a hazing incident in November 2018. The family of that student, Collin Wiant,ABC News' Aliki Shinas contributed to this report.
