About 1,200 students attended the annual Night of Decadence party on Saturday.
"I think at any party you're going to have, and it's just not particularly the NOD, you're going to have students who drink and you're going have people in their private rooms who are going do stuff that maybe puts themselves in danger," said a Rice student.
Local 2 Investigates obtained undercover footage from the Night of Decadence party six years ago.
School officials said they were aware of the student-organized party that is held every year around Halloween.
Rice officials said they're interviewing the students involved before they'll make a determination about how this incident may have any affect on any future Night of Decadence parties.
Rice released a statement about the incident saying in part, "Rice has been extremely active in educating students about the dangers of abusing alcohol. We will continue our efforts to protect the health and safety of our students."
