www.columbiatribune.com/news/crime/six-mu-fraternity-members-arrested-for-hazing-in-hide-and/article The link above is in regards to the six Phi Kappa Theta Brothers that were arrested 2 weeks ago. The article states......"Police arrested six University of Missouri students for alleged hazing last week during a hide-and-seek-style game, but it’s unclear if any charges will be filed. Six Phi Kappa Theta fraternity members were arrested Dec. 7 for an event involving active members of the fraternity chasing down the group’s pledge members after they “walked out” of classes, a fraternity tradition, MU Police Department Capt. Brian Weimer said." The incident took place around 10:20 a.m. Dec. 5. The six men who were arrested are Jack R. Berry, 20; Steven R. Savio, 21; Kevin D. Meyers, 19; Joseph A. Wiss, 19; Remy J. Hoffmann, 19; and William T. Ismert, 20. Weimer said MUPD officers were called to Lathrop Hall on campus after several students saw what they thought was a person being assaulted. Weimer said several members of Phi Kappa Theta had chased down and grabbed two pledge members who were then put in a van. One of the pledges had his hands tied behind his back, but neither person was injured, Weimer said. He described the game as a version of hide-and-seek. The pledges who were grabbed and put in the van aren’t pressing any charges, Weimer said. Student members had already left the fraternity house, 601 Rollins St., Friday evening for winter break, but an alumni board officer said fraternity members don’t comment on arrests. A staff member from the Office of Greek Life at MU said the office doesn’t speak about incidents involving the police. Boone County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Brouck Jacobs said charges have not been filed. The six men have pending court dates for 9 a.m. Jan. 23, Weimer said.
