Some pranks resulting in serious consequences for chapters and members
Many chapter leaders are getting very concerned regarding the damage and distress pranks are causing to their chapter property and membership. Many chapters are filing police reports and have vowed to press charges in cases of damaged or destroyed property. Theft of chapter property, in many cases, can result in jail time and heavy fines. Please review with your chapter members the expectations for healthy and respectful community building and share with them that your chapter will not tolerate disrespect for another chapter’s property.
Property damage or theft of chapter property should be reported to the Greek Affairs staff in a timely manner.
