Source and correction policy
This archive strives to publish factual, source-based information and clearly distinguish among allegations stated in filed police proceedings, persons identified in university announcements or published news reporting, and historical fraternity membership. Inclusion in a historical fraternity roster, by itself, does not allege or imply that a person committed hazing or sexual assault, participated in misconduct, knew about misconduct, facilitated misconduct, or bears responsibility for the events described in the police report.
Corrections and removals
When credible, verifiable documentation establishes a material factual correction or clarification, this archive updates or removes the relevant entry as appropriate. Individuals removed after such verification are not named in this notice.
Anti-harassment policy
This archive does not condone harassment in any form whatsoever, including threats, intimidation, unwanted contact, doxxing, retaliation, or interference with a person's school, employment, family, or private life. No person should be targeted or contacted based solely on appearance in a historical fraternity roster, an alleged group list, a court filing, or reporting on this site.
Chapter Directory
No membership list for the Alpha Epsilon Pi chapter at UW–Madison has been made public. What follows is only what police, the university or published reporting have described. Both officers are named in the police report: Brayden J. Klein and Samuel N. Vane.
No membership list has been published by the university, the national organization or police. The chapter has not been recognized by UW–Madison since 2015, so no official roster is on file with the university.
The two students named and arrested in the September 23 incident, as recorded by the Madison Police Department.

Roles and counts come from police records, the university or published reporting. The profile lines under each officer — major, social accounts, photograph, employment — were supplied to this archive and are not police records; the position and the $400 bond are. An arrest is not a conviction.

The Man Who Said “Relax, Pal”
Source and correction note:
The exchange is sourced to WISN 12 News' report and published documentation of the viral clip. The first student has not been publicly named. The second has been preliminarily identified to this archive as Luc Silver, a brother listed on the AEPi Brothers roster; on that basis he was definitely not hazed. The archive attaches no charge to anyone in the clip, and the two are kept on separate cards pending confirmation. The frames shown for the first entry are stills supplied to this archive and are not verified to identify the student. The frame shown for the second entry is a still supplied to this archive, watermarked to a WISN 12 reporter's TikTok account; it is not verified to identify him, and the identification remains preliminary. An arrest is not a conviction.
Source and correction note:
The capture shows garbage piled in a fenced yard near the chapter house. The video shows FLIES over the pile; the flies are not clearly visible in this copy. One user commented "Forget the hazing what's with the mess. Do they not know how to clean?"
