MADISON, Wis. — For the first time, there will no University of Wisconsin-Madison fraternity parties the night of Freakfest, Madison’s city-sanctioned Halloween celebration.
UW-Madison said that none of the campus’ 24 fraternities applied for a social event contract for Nov. 1.
As part of an agreement with the university and police, fraternities have to apply by Oct. 15 and take a Halloween risk training course with Madison police.
