Have you heard of the class action lawsuit against all the fraternities at UC Berkeley? Paul Ghysels, an angry neighbor, and his neighborhood association, are sick of the parties and the mess. Then again, they live next door to not one but two fraternity houses. This is a first-of-its-kind class action lawsuit, and I'm wondering what the potential legal ramifications are for Greek Rows across the country. Can anyone weigh in with some conjectures?

The blog post linked above is a summary of the article, along with a brief discussion of the issue from my editorial standpoint.
I wanted the Greekchat community to "weigh in with conjectures" because this is a complex issue and I am not nearly qualified to discuss legal issues. The news articles on the topic are far from informative in this regard.
Forget I linked the blog, I'll ask it here instead: What, if any, are the potential ramifications for the Greek community nationwide if this lawsuit goes to court, and if Ghysels wins? And what are your thoughts on suing an entire fraternity system?
