Many years ago, long before home alarm systems, a fraternity broke into our house. They were dressed all in black, burst into the bedrooms, pulled down blankets and took pictures. The girls were in various states of nightwear. They cut the phone lines (we only had landlines in those days) and used them to tie a bar across the housemother's room so she could not get out. The trauma suffered by some was very severe. When the police went to the fraternity to talk to the guys, one idiot responded that it was a sorority house so it was fair game. When asked how he would feel it it had been his sister who was woken up by a bunch of guys taking pictures he responded he would be off the wall irate.
Breaking and entering whether a joke or not is not harmless. It is a criminal act. it is time we stop justifying actions as "simple college pranks" whether it is breaking and entering, sexual assault, hazing, giving alcohol to minors or....
