The incident occurred Tuesday evening around 6 p.m. as fraternity members marked the Jewish New Year, officials confirmed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to police, one student entered the fraternity house and tossed a plastic bag filled with pork against an interior wall, splattering the contents across the wall and floor. The suspect then fled and got into a Jeep Wrangler driven by another student. Both were arrested shortly after the incident.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The two 18-year-olds, identified as Samuel Patten and Kyle Anderson, were charged with burglary as a hate crime and criminal nuisance. Jewish dietary law prohibits pork, and authorities emphasized the timing of the act\u2014on an important religious holiday at a historically Jewish fraternity\u2014underscored its seriousness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Onondaga County District Attorney William Fitzpatrick stated the behavior would not be dismissed as a prank. \u201cThis incident is not a foolish college prank and will not be treated as such,\u201d Fitzpatrick said. \u201cIt will be treated for what it is, a crime directed against a group of Jewish <a href=\"https:\/\/prepsaret.com\/ged\/ged-international-students-ged-for-foreign-students\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">students<\/a> enjoying a celebratory dinner and seemingly secure in their residence.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>University and Community Response<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/prepsaret.com\/ged\/colleges-that-accept-the-ged-credential\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">university<\/a> condemned the act, calling it \u201cabhorrent\u201d and \u201cshocking to the conscience.\u201d Allen Groves, Syracuse\u2019s chief student experience officer, said the incident violated the school\u2019s values of inclusivity and safety. He confirmed both students were referred to the Office of Community Standards for possible disciplinary action under the Student Conduct Code.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTonight\u2019s incident, as reported to us, is abhorrent, shocking to the conscience and violates our core value of being a place that is truly welcoming to all,\u201d Groves wrote in a message to the campus community. \u201cIt will not be tolerated at Syracuse University.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The arrests followed a consultation between university police and the Onondaga County District Attorney\u2019s Office. Prosecutors stressed that the charges reflect not just the intrusion but also the religious and cultural targeting involved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zeta Beta Tau, founded as a Jewish fraternity, remains closely tied to Jewish traditions and culture. The act of tossing pork into the house during Rosh Hashanah, a holiday that marks renewal and reflection, was seen by Jewish leaders as an intentional act of disrespect and intimidation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the case proceeds, university officials, prosecutors, and community leaders have vowed accountability, stressing that Syracuse will not tolerate hate-motivated crimes on <a href=\"https:\/\/prepsaret.com\/ged\/how-to-get-loans-for-ged-classes-college\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">campus<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Points: Two 18-year-old Syracuse University students were arrested for throwing pork into a Jewish fraternity during a Rosh Hashanah celebration.
