They had to be taken to the hospital.The university has temporarily suspended TKE's affiliation with the school, but since it's a private residence, students can still live there.Nobody answered the door when Palladino approached the house. Students she talked with said TKE has a party reputation."It's definitely known for a party frat. I've heard a lot about it as a freshman and sophomore but never wanted to go. Didn't seem very friendly to me," UW-Milwaukee student Ashley Larson said.The university issued a statement to WISN 12 News on Thursday night.It reads in part, "We are deeply concerned about these allegations because the safety of our students is our No. 1 priority. UWM police are aggressively pursuing this investigation to determine exactly what happened and who may be involved."UW-Milwaukee police said arrests could come.The District Attorney's Office is currently reviewing possible charges for the student who was arrested.
