Fraternity Brothers Catch Fire on Video

Ohio State University has placed its Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter on interim suspension following an incident where two individuals were filmed catching fire. Videos of the alarming event circulated widely on social media over the weekend, prompting an official investigation by the university, which has deemed the matter "extremely concerning." The incident reportedly occurred near campus on Saturday. Columbus Police became aware of the situation on Sunday after the videos surfaced online and are now collaborating with the university and the Columbus Division of Fire's Arson Unit to ascertain the circumstances and any potential criminal involvement.

The national leadership of Sigma Alpha Epsilon has also initiated its own investigation, stating that it holds its members to high standards and will take appropriate action. The fraternity, founded in 1856, has a history of controversies, including past issues with hazing and alcohol-related incidents. As the investigations by both the university and the fraternity continue, the exact cause of the men catching fire remains undetermined.
