Three members of Delta Tau Delta fraternity were involved in an alleged "hazing" incident at Arizona-Sonora Hall Friday afternoon.

Police received reports of students on the forth floor of the hall "getting out of hand," police said. When police arrived, a student who identified himself as a member of Delta Tau Delta told police he and other fraternity members came to the hall to "kidnap" a pledge, police said. The student admitted to using a telephone cord to restrain the pledge, a resident of the hall.

Police went to speak with the pledge, who was in his room and was "breathing very hard," police said. When asked what happened, the student said "Nothing, really."

The student claimed he and the others were "wrestling" because they were trying to tie him up with a telephone cord, police said. The student refused to make a complaint and was "very uncooperative and vague" about answering questions, police said.

The students were warned that they could be arrested for disorderly conduct, police said. Greek Life and the Dean of Students' office were informed of the incident, police said.
