According to the New York Post, video posted on Instagram by the student newspaper, the Daily Athenaeum, showed police officers leaving the residences with the bags. Authorities have not disclosed what the bags contained or released further details about the seized items. [1]

The raids follow previous disciplinary action on the campus. As FTMQ News reported earlier, West Virginia University placed the Lambda Chi fraternity on an interim suspension on October 9 after receiving hazing allegations, following an earlier warning issued by campus police on October 6. [4]
