No, I wouldn't. I don't know the campus culture, but if it "happens all of the time", as the men claim, then I don't see why this is different from TPing or forking or whatever other stupid prank is common on that campus. For all we know, the Pi Phis stole their class paddle last week and this was their attempt to get it back.
There is definitely a double-standard, where women can sneak into a frat house and it's cute, and then men try to sneak into a sorority house and they are suddenly hardened criminals.

They did not break into the house. They looked around for an open window or a loose screen and did not find one.

No, I'm saying they have already spent a night in jail, they will likely receive consequences from their fraternity, and I would, if I were the house mother/advisor decline to press charges. Perhaps I would ask that they agree to do some service work or something of that sort, but I just don't know that these clowns deserve to walk around with a rap sheet the rest of their lives.
