A pipe band member from the North Island in Dunedin from Thursday to Sunday for a competition last weekend said her group was pelted with bottles and subjected to repeated vulgar and homophobic abuse from young men at a student flat in Cumberland St.
A woman in the group said a man partying at the flat, described as "lanky" with long scruffy hair, dropped his pants and exposed his genitals to a group of band members including children.
She complained to the University of Otago and supplied a video, also seen by the Otago Daily Times, in which a man at the property is heard unleashing a torrent of homophobic and racist slurs at passers-by.
University of Otago proctor Dave Scott said the complaint remained under investigation.
"Three students are currently helping the proctor's office with inquiries.
"The complaint is viewed as a serious breach of the student code of conduct and as such the investigation into it needs to be thorough and measured."
He expected the investigation would be complete next week.
