Was Michael Phelps in Columbia yesterday?

In all seriousness, this is pretty major. The fire at the Sigma Chi house started in the same area of a fire that killed a member in 1999.

Wow. How did it go from a "small piece of charcoal left on a windowsill" to a flippin' bong?!?

because they want to make weed and fraternities look bad

This is Brother Brad Pitt's chapter.

[Insert gratuitous picture of Brad Pitt here ^^.]

Wow. I definitely think this is another attempt from the media to make fraternities look bad.

Brad Pitt or the fire? ;)

Okay, but why would someone leave a piece of charcoal on a windowsill? Sounds rather suspect to me.

What I suspect they're referring to is a hookah, not a bong which requires flavored tobacco charcoal

Thank you. It was a hookah (not illegal).
A few years ago (1999? 1998? Before they were kicked off campus— they returned 2006 or 2007) a pledge died in a fire in the same house. This could have been so much worse.
