Six local college students who were charged with assault after allegedly taking part in a hazing ritual were allowed to remain free on bail Monday while an investigation continues.
City Judge James A. W. McLeod scheduled further proceedings for Kong M. Siu, 21, of Bayside; Ronald Lin, 21, of Brooklyn; Qiyvan Zhang, 22, of Groton; Brian B. Shim, 22, of Syosett; Andrew Lui, 21, of Brooklyn; and Ho Lee, 22, of Woodbury. All have been charged with felony second-degree assault and misdemeanor hazing.
The six are said to be members of Lambda Phi Epsilon fraternity. They are accused of paddling three victims and forcing them to drink alcohol until they lost consciousness April 26 in a Winspear Avenue home.
Edward C. Cosgrove, attorney for all six defendants, confirmed that all six have been suspended from class until the criminal case is resolved. Five of the defendants are from the University at Buffalo. The sixth, Shim, in a junior in D’Youville’s nursing program.
According to court documents, the victims were found unconscious in a locked upstairs bedroom, hospitalized for two days at Erie Medical Center and treated for “dehydration, alcohol poisoning, blood in urine and severe pain, swelling and severe bruising to buttocks.”

This is the same fraternity which has had two deaths in the past 18 months nationally.
At a Calif. school, a pledge died after a brutal bros-pledge football game.
At Texas, a new initiate drank himself to death, encouraged by his bros and some girls, celebrating his membership.
They need some adult guidance.
As a mom my daughter showed me these pictures on facebook, look at those poor kids passed out, sexually harassing that poor girl and these kids with writing all over them. In one of the pictures you just see a bunch of college kids posing in the background with a kid passed out lying there not sure if he is dead or not. These college kids need to know better.
I GO TO UB, THIS FRAT IS RETARDED.
Omg, this fraternity is the WORST frat out there. They promote brotherhood when all they do is spank each other with paddles when they cross. They are all losers in high school who want to be cool in college and join this frat with their gang sign. They do push-ups on rice and bleed from every pore of their body in order to cross. No one cares about them.
STFU u guys dont know shit!

the hazing stuff is true about LPhiE. they can deny it all they want. spin it all they want. the bottom line is that the haze. don't get me wrong, for many of those who cross it's one of their defining college experiences. but hey who am i to say, some people feel the need to go through this physical rite of passage to overcome their insecurities and “belong”. whatever happened to having self confidence and realizing that you don't need the approval of others, simply your self approval?
