Hazing

Two Nu Alpha Phi fraternity members pleaded not guilty in city court on Thursday morning to charges of misdemeanor first-degree hazing, according to Syracuse.com.

The city court judge also ruled that Tae Kim, 19, and Jeffrey Yam, 21, can attend class with Joseph Gallo, the student they are accused of hazing, but must otherwise stay away from him, according to Syracuse.com.

Kim and Yam were arrested on March 4 in connection with a hazing incident that police said happened at about midnight on March 1 in Lower Hookway Park on East Colvin Street. Police said three Nu Alpha Phi pledges, including Gallo, were told to perform pushups and situps and roll in the snow for about 20 minutes for failing to correctly perform their daily duties. The pledges had no gloves on and after finishing the exercises were given hand warmers and told to walk back to the fraternity — about a mile and a half away — police said.

Gallo went to Crouse Hospital the next day, police said, and was told he had severe frostbite on his fingers and might lose his ring and pinkie fingers on both hands. Police later said Gallo will not lose his fingers.

Kim and Yam are due back in court on April 20.
