Officers removed items and took some people into custody as the university investigates hazing allegations at two fraternities.
On Monday, Oct. 26, the West Virginia University Police Department served search warrants at Lambda Chi Alpha and Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity houses as part of an ongoing hazing investigation.
West Virginia University had previously placed Lambda Chi Alpha on interim suspension on Oct. 9 following multiple anonymous reports of alleged hazing activities.
Officers from the Morgantown Police Department supported the West Virginia University Police Department during the searches, and social media videos showed law enforcement removing evidence bags containing cell phones.
WVU spokesperson Shauna Johnson said Tuesday that "due to the nature of the investigations, no other details will be released at this time." Updates will be provided as available.
The investigation into alleged hazing at the two Morgantown properties remains active, though the university has not confirmed potential arrests or specific items seized from either house.
