Among the kudos the mayor passed out was one to the UW- Madison Intrafraternity Council, which voted earlier this semester to recommend against house parties on Halloween weekend. President Brian Burke said only one house had a party, but with a limited guest list.
Burke said the group will probably propose a ban on Halloween house parties. “It’s really hard to keep property and members safe in that environment,” Burke said.
Of the 243 arrests made at the Halloween event Saturday night and Sunday morning, more than half were not students, Madison Police Chief Noble Wray said Monday. Of the total, 68 arrests were UW- Madison students, 21 were from other University of Wisconsin System campuses, and 23 were from other schools.
