The pledges were drenched in what appeared to be food and liquids and many were barefoot.
At one point a young man in the house initially appeared to subtly try to block an officer from entering, which the officer later noted.
Police stated that the scene appeared to be an instance of hazing.
Hazing is a criminal misdemeanor strictly prohibited at the University of Iowa. Alpha Delta Phi was suspended for four years, until it can be reinstated on July 1, 2029, according to KCRG 9.
The footage shows how the raid was surveyed by Joseph Gaya, 22, who was later charged in connection with the incident.
He sipped a drink and puffed on his vape while the officers were conducting the investigation and asked a cop if he wanted to ‘taste’ a red substance on a pledge’s neck while an officer was checking if anyone was injured.
‘You got nothing, you got nothing, you got f***ing nothing. There’s no fire here, there’s no nothing,’ he said.
When the officer asked him why the young men were all at the house, Gaya said it was for a celebration.
Gaya was arrested and charged with interference with official acts the day after the incident however, according to KCRG 9, those charges were dismissed about a year later.
Gaya was not a University of Iowa student and did not live at the house.
