A group of Sigma Alpha Epsilon pledges at Embry Riddle University were caught stealing an alligator from a miniature golf course, bringing about a plethora of hazing allegations against the fraternity.

Five pledges were said to be armed with sticks and tape and caught on camera jumping into a pit filled with small alligators, police said. They were charged April 17.

After the failed robbery, university administrators opened a hazing investigation and uncovered several odd activities practiced by Sigma Alpha Epsilon.

In one incident, brothers forced pledges to eat onions covered in hot sauce that was 200 time more spicier than a normal jalapeno pepper, Kenneth Dechmerowski, a former vice president of the fraternity said.
