Several people were observed standing in a line across the sidewalk blocking the entrance steps of Morey Hall facing Crosby Hall, according to UR Security Investigator Dan Lafferty.

The students were identified as potential members of Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity. A member of the fraternity claimed that they had been doing the ritual for over 100 years.
They were told that they had to step aside when people approached. Later, they were spoken to by Dean of The College William Green, according to UR Security.
