Edited to add: According to the national web site of Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity, the ATO college chapters in New York State are at Cornell, St. Lawrence, and Syracuse. The site doesn't list Buffalo as having a chapter. So: I don't know exactly what the chapter mentioned in the news report is. I just wanted to clarify that apparently it isn't a chapter of what most GCers regard as ATO.
I regret and apologize for any confusion or misrepresentation the original posting may have caused.
Thank you for noting this edit.
According to the
Buffalo News, some students have been suspended and an investigation is going on in a case of alleged hazing:

Brief excerpts from longer report:
Four University of Buffalo students have been suspended and two of them criminally charged in a fraternity hazing incident that landed one student in a hospital early today.
The young man, whose name was not released, was among several students who were ordered to strip down to their underwear so that fraternity brothers in Alpha Tau Omega could cover them with a liquid concoction of purple spray paint and red hot sauce, according to Buffalo police.
