NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – A naked party at Yale may have crossed the line from salacious fun and into sexual assault and hazing, according to a report.

The Yale Daily News reports the Yale Police Department is looking into the party after several attendees were taken to Yale-New Haven hospital.

Yale Police Chief Ronnell A. Higgins notified the campus police “received information about a possible sexual assault involving undergraduates” attending an off-campus party on February 19.

The party in question was reportedly thrown by the Pundits, Yale’s private society prank group. Some 50 people attended the invitation-only function, according to the report.

While attendees arrived in costume, they were told to disrobe halfway through the party, witnesses told the Yale Daily News.

Yale officials are examining whether the party – in which underage students were also reportedly drinking – amounted to a form of hazing. Attendees were reportedly told that the party was part of the ritual to potentially join the Pundits group.

After the attendees disrobed, several of them were forced to kiss each other by members of the Pundits, according to the allegations cited in the report. One male attendee reportedly had a penis forcibly pushed against his face.

The events are still under investigation.

At least one of the attendees seemed to think the party was nothing more than usual, rowdy, college hijinks, according to the report.

Does this amount to college kids having fun, or is there something more serious going on here? Sound off in our comments section.

    I wonder if any other alumni besides Bill Clinton were invited?

    Yale could learn a lesson from BYU regarding unacceptable studen behavior.

  • anatolepushkin

    No wonder gay marriage is now legal in Massachusetts.

    • Robert

      Yale is in Connecticut.

        Peter Porker,
        Your slip is showing.

    • Karen

      What does drunk, underaged, hormonal, spoiled brats have to do with gay marraige.

    • Cebu de Macho

      Peter Porker,
      Are you the gay ballaerina who is now mayor?
      Good for you.
      With arms akimbo, you can continiue calling everybody moron and make a spectacle of yourself. Better still, send your enemies, real and imagined,
      dead fish.

  • anatolepushkin

    With lawmakers like Barney Frank for their role model, and with the sanctity of marriage dislodged by gay marriage, American Society has reverted ti Sodom and Gomorrah. The students learn from their betters, and there is nothing to learn except that Union Thugs and Black Panthers are heroes, ACORN and community organizing will lead you to the WH, Scott Brown the Clone of Botox Queen Nancy is the Face of the Z Generation, DemocRATS will rule forever and ever because Sarah Palin has chosen not to abort Trig, Her Roahl Highness Caroline is Camelot, etc., etc. So what else is new under the sun?

    • anatolepushkin

      Sorry, I should have written Sherwood Brown instead of Scott Brlown. Sherwood is a congressman (D), Scott iis a senator (GOP).
      My profuse apologies to Senator Scott Brown who I respect because he is no clone to anybody. God bless Senator Scott Brown.

      • marvl

        You were right the first time. Scott Brown is, as his name implies, yet another liberal turd from Massachusetts. I wonder if the Brits would take the state back?

    • Karen

      Wow…. What a bunch of dribble.

  • booboo

    and they ended up in the hospital…. why?

    • Yale Student Can’t Sit For a Week, Film at 11.

      booboo,

      Two words: rectal itch.

    • Masked Pundito

      The only question worth asking, unanswered by this article. Also, if it were initiation, there should have been only 26 in attendance.

  • bserius

    at Northwestern it is one of your Gen Eds

  • Collage doesn’t pay

    Don’t forget, all of these stuck up, spoiled brats that attend the top three schools go there because they are bored of their silver plattered lives. And their Daddy’s get then in by building new wings onto the school, Etc. Might as well save some big money and send the kids to Adelphi. Besides most company’s rather hirer kids for 1/3 the salary and train them on site.

    • Joe

      Learn how to spell and write in an intelligent and comprehensive matter. Maybe then you’ll get promoted from your current job as a burger flipper at Burger King, to a customer representative at McDonalds.

      • Elvis

        I think you might have been trying to say, “…in an intelligent and comprehensive manner.” And you probably did not really mean to throw in that completely unnecessary comma in the next sentence. Perhaps you are not the best person to criticize another’s grammar, hmmm?

      • Kyle

        Isn’t it manner? Not matter? I would re-think criticizing people unless you yourself can elaborate intelligently.

      • Jim B

        Says the snobby fry cook from Checkers.

      • Shenvaldave

        Yeah, I’m with the Elvis guy. This is completely politically incorrect, and we wouldn’t want a bunch of Yalies to suffer from poor self-esteem. Perhaps a seminar could study the impact of hazing and improper party activities on the lives of these poor and impressionable national leaders of the future (biting of lip here…).

    • LibwithIQ

      He’s not envious. He’s truthful.

    • bill

      It’s ‘College’ LOL

    • D Kelly

      But he’s right – being a professional collager really doesn’t pay the bills.

    • this isn’t 1925 anymore

      Yale, Harvard, and Princeton have the best grant-based financial aid of any schools in the country. If your parents make less than $65,000, they don’t pay a dime to send you to Yale.

      • Steve

        And if your parents make $65,001?

      • hayduke ’70

        actually the minority-de-jour has had a free ride,including an extra 200 points on the SAT,since 1966

    • “collage” educated

      just because you obviously didn’t pay attention in “collage” (or 4th grade english for that matter), doesn’t mean it is a waste of money.
      If you did not go to “collage”, then you should probably stop contaminating the world with your worthless thoughts and opinions.

      • Steve

        That person was referring to the art form.

    • huck

      You, sir, are a complete idiot.

  • les

    fun? is it a relative term like everything else is becoming? you need the answer to that before you can answer your question of if its something more serious. assaulters have fun while perpetrating. is it fun for all involved? your question is vague and slanted. address the real issue.

  • Woodrow

    We used to go to the frat house just to mooch some FREE beer…

  • AZD2

    I missed the part where it said they could not leave

  • Zach

    Wow, college kids drinking and getting it on. SHOCKER. They should be absolutely ASHAMED of their behaviour! :::rolls eyes:::

    • Mad Hacker

      Instant A-Hole, Just add booze ;)

  • hayduke ’70

    actually there are far more descendants of the goatherds than the slaveholders at the ivies

    • Mark Matis

      You nailed it!

      • Peen S. Face

        Thats what she said.

  • Dutch

    They will fit in perfectly at Bohemian Grove someday.

  • Mark Twain

    If God had meant for us to be naked, we would have been born that way.

  • Bostonman

    The second smartest minds in the country. And everyone knows most Yale students prefer same gender sex.

    • hayduke ’70

      true. MIT is #1, and the girls of yale certainly would not appeal to men

      • Scott L.

        What do you mean – the girls of Yale are men!

      • Masked Pundito

        1

      • EL GORDITO

        West Point is #1: get with the program.

  • Bluto

    That’s awesome! Sorry I missed it. Hey Melvin shall we compare populations and restrictions on having children..I didn’t think so.You people make me sick, this was a typical frat party for any college. Nice to see the stiffs at Yale can actually throw down.

  • skyhi

    ‘they sound like our future perverts in Congress………

    • anatolepushkin

      Future perverts in congress? Barney Frank will get you for this!

  • Pete

    This is Higher Education?
    MORONS!!

    • Terri

      Not higher, but gay education. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

  • Melvin

    No wonder the Chinese are creaming us. Chinese concentrate more on education, that getting neked.

    • Mahlvin

      and grammar!

    • Charlie

      Really? Are you completely blind to level of sexual perversion in China? It makes this Yale event look like Mormans!

  • hayduke ’70

    thanks for the news.need to revise my will

  • Janna

    No one forced them to disrobe. If I was invited to join a group like this, and they told me to take off my clothes, I would turn around and walk out the door.. and say “SEE YA!” Who wants to belong to a group that gets off on humiliating you? It take TWO parties to haze. Anyone who stayed was an idiot.

    • heatherfeather

      Hear! Hear! I never understood the whole sorority/fraternity initiations. Who in their right mind would do that nonsense? Must be lots of people with real low self-esteem who just need to be part of a groupy-group.

      • rae in Houston

        I find this discussion extremely interesting, but ironic. Years ago, in the 1950s, I think, Yale banished fraternities from campus due to hazing incidents, and as a condition of a large donor to the university. Now we see that bad behavior is not limited to Greek social fraternities, but can spring up in organizations of all sorts.

      • bg

        “Must be lots of people with real low self-esteem who just need to be part of a groupy-group.”

        Says the hypocrite making broad-based generalizations. Being a part of something doesn’t mean you have low self-esteem or that its bad. YOU would understand if YOU were a part of a sorority or fraternity, most of which do not participate in this type of behavior. That would be like me saying that all members of the marching band are pterodactyls. There might be one that is a pterodactyl, but I can’t know that because I have never been a part of the marching band.

  • Mary travers

    And these are the best and the brightest? The crass immorality of this generation is not surprising. Yes—I said immorality.

  • Comedy Gold

    “One male attendee reportedly had a pen1s forcibly pushed against his face.”

    Haw, haw, funny. FUNNY.

  • pags0668

    Did the people attending think anything different would be the outcome? Really?

    These are the smartest mind of a generation!

    • M

      the future is scary indeed…

  • brian

    Sounds like a fun time. Wish I had been there.

    • Mike

      I second that
