The incident occurred last February, when the fraternity was on probation with the university over issues of hazing and conduct that threatens the health and safety of students.

Four members of a San Diego State fraternity allegedly gave a pledge third-degree burns as part of a hazing ritual that left the young man in the hospital for weeks.

Four San Diego State University students were charged with felonies on Monday, Jan. 6, for allegedly starting a fire at a fraternity party almost a year prior that resulted in one person with 16% of their body burned.
