Two fraternity members arrested at an Alpha Epsilon Pi house in Madison will not face charges after a hazing investigation.

Two fraternity members arrested during a hazing investigation at an Alpha Epsilon Pi house in Madison will not face charges. The arrests took place on 23 September at the house on Langdon Avenue. Both men were 20 and held positions as president and vice president of the fraternity.

Police discovered 30 partially clothed men in the basement of the house, who were covered in food, condiments and other liquids. The Dane County District Attorney's Office declined to press charges, with District Attorney Ismael Ozanne stating there was insufficient evidence to prove a criminal charge against the two men beyond reasonable doubt.

The Alpha Epsilon Pi chapter at Madison is not recognised or accredited by UW-Madison, though the national fraternity organisation continues to recognise it. The university terminated the chapter's status in 2015. Following the investigation, the national fraternity organisation issued a cease and desist notice to its Madison chapter.
