Disturbing video captured a hazing incident at the University of Miami involving members of a fraternity downing milk before spitting it onto the naked back of a student sitting in a trash can. 

University of Miami police are now investigating the incident following reports depicting potential hazing within the fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon on campus. 

In the footage, obtained by NBC South Florida, one student is seen seated in a trash can while the three others surrounding him start chugging what appears to be jugs of milk, before spitting out the mystery substance on the man's back. 

The person taking the video is heard saying, 'That's nasty.' 

In a statement released on Thursday, the university acknowledged the existence of the videos and can 'confirm the authenticity of one video.'

'The University of Miami has received multiple reports related to alleged conduct violations by one of our fraternity chapters,' the statement read. 'We are aware of videos being circulated but can only confirm the authenticity of one video. A full investigation is underway.'

'Personally it's just not for me,' UM Junior Nick Giannakopoulos said to NBC Miami. 'I think that's a very extreme path to take to join a student organization.' 

'Pretty much to each their own in terms of if they feel they want to do that to make the most of their college experience; I know that's a big part of the culture here,' he added. 

The act of hazing is illegal both on campus and in the state of Florida.

In November 2017, a Florida State University junior was killed by acute alcohol poisoning after alleged hazing while participating in Big Brother Night, a fraternity event hosted by Pi Kappa Pha. 

Andrew Coffey, 20, was a civil engineering major from Pompano Beach.

The Tallahassee Democrat reports that officers were collecting alcoholic beverage bottles that were scattered on the home's porch as evidence.

Coffey was found unresponsive at about 10:25am the morning after the party, authorities say. Attempts to revive him were unsuccessful.

The fraternity has been suspended by its national organization pending the conclusion of the investigation.

A year earlier in 2016, Florida State University has suspended the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, after a member complained that pledges were forced to act like slaves in a Plantation-themed drinking game.

The unnamed TKE member waited until he graduated to report the 2013 incident on the school's anti-hazing website. 

According to the report, TKE members forced pledges to participate in a drinking game called 'Old South,' in which the new members were made to act as slaves and serve drinks to the more senior fraternity brothers.

TKE brothers also reportedly drove pledges to far-away locations like Ocala (185 miles away) or Thomasville, Georgia (34 miles away), and abandoned them there to find their way back to Tallahassee without their cell phones or wallets.
