The officers found an unconscious and injured 19-year-old male student in the home. The student was still in critical condition as of Friday afternoon, officials said.

Fraternity under investigation

NJ.com first reported that Alpha Sigma Phi is now under suspension with a university "notice on the front of the residence declaring the Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity house an unsafe structure."

The Fraternity has placed the chapter on an interim suspension.

"We are currently gathering information as to what happened that evening but to be very clear...if it is determined by the Fraternity, the University or law enforcement that the undergraduate members hazed that evening, the chapter will be closed, any member who directly or indirectly participated in those activities will be permanently expelled and the Fraternity will encourage the University and law enforcement to pursue the maximum penalties allowed," Alpha Sigma Phi said in a statement to New Jersey 101.5 on Friday night.

"Hazing has no part in the Alpha Sigma Phi experience. It is not condoned nor is it tolerated.. Alpha Sigma Phi regularly educates all chapters and members on our Health and Safety Guidelines, including hazing and the chapter at Rutgers received this training last month," the same statement added.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the young man in the hospital and his family. While we know he has been hospitalized, no other information has been shared with us," the fraternity also said.
