Brief excerpts:

. . . Student Daniel Klufas, of Easton, Conn., and his family have hired a lawyer and private investigator since the incident.

. . . On April 25, Klufas said brothers in Alpha Delta Phi, the fraternity he was pledging, made him take off his clothes while they threw cold water on him, according to attorney, Stephan E. Seeger of Stamford, Conn.

. . . Klufas said the incident caused him to end up at Duke Hospital for treatment.

. . . Seeger said he met with Duke University officials on Friday. Larry Moneta, Duke University vice president for Student Affairs, said he could not confirm the meeting or provide any other information about the situation due to federal law.

Seeger and his client plan to file a complaint with the magistrate against a particular individual by Sunday. Seeger said the state statute allows people to bring complaints before a magistrate judge to determine probable cause.

. . . Klufas left Durham shortly after the incident. Seeger said university officials made arrangements to allow Klufas to finish his coursework. He was in Durham this weekend to take final exams to complete his freshman year at the university.

Klufas is still a Duke student but said he is unsure if he will return to the school next semester.
