- Inside the basement, officers found the men in a room heated to 81 degrees, with several suffering from "visible injuries consistent with being physically assaulted," according to police.
- AEPi communications officer Jonathan Pierce said the national organization is cooperating with the investigation, while UW-Madison officials stated they are "fully committed to preventing and addressing hazing" and investigating implicated students.
- Madison Police Captain Kipp Hartman confirmed the investigation is active and ongoing, with university services providing student support as needed during the process.
