http://http://www.myfoxcolorado.com/...Y&pageId=1.1.1BOULDER - The national headquarters of Delta Chi Fraternity has suspended the University of Colorado-Boulder chapter following the weekend arrests of 10 pledges in Estes Park.

The fraternity pledges were arrested early Sunday on suspicion of underage drinking and felony criminal mischief.

A police report says officers were called to a Super 8 Motel about 2:30 a.m. Sunday, where they found destroyed furniture in two adjoining rooms, large holes in the walls, blood and vomit throughout, and a coffee pot full of urine.

Delta Chi assistant executive director Karl Grindel says a representative of the Iowa City, Iowa-based fraternity is expected to arrive in Boulder on Tuesday to investigate.

The arrested pledges were all 18 - 20 years old.

Oh, dang.
As if that coverage weren't enough, the pretty well-known site Smoking Gun managed to post mug shots of those arrested, along with a police press release about what was found.

One of the sad things about this incident is that for oh, around a year or so, the U. of Colorado IFC fraternities have been sort of regularly dislocating their metaphorical shoulders patting themselves on the back for managing themselves well after severing ties with the university.

Not that university recognition would necessarily have averted a situation like this.

Just a mess all around.
