Who the hell rips sinks from walls? Ever?

Dumbasses.

At the undegrad part of the school I attend, they flip over cars during homecoming weekend. I think pulling a sink out of a wall is pretty minor compared to flipping over cars.

That takes more effort than I was willing to put forth as an undergrad.

Were these random cars, or was it part of some kind of tradition?

Idiots.

No, they're random cars and, they've set fires, too. It hasn't happened lately but, it has happened before. Usually when it's a football game played with their rival school.

DAYTON, Ohio -- A University of Dayton sorority is under investigation by police after an end-of-the-year formal got out of control.

Some of the students are accused of causing thousands of dollars in damage at the business that hosted the party.

Things were quiet at the Alpha Phi House on Brown Street Monday afternoon, but some people said a few of the sisters got very loud over the weekend.

Allysa Smith said, "They were acting like animals."

Smith was working at Alpha Phi's Top of the Market formal party on Saturday night. "They were just picking up wine glasses and just chucking them at the bartenders and just throwing everything on the top of the bar," said Smith.

There were approximately 200 people at the party and Smith said many of the girls and their dates were drunk and out of control.

Smith said, "Guys were going to the bathroom, down just in the carpet in the corner."

There were some students who used the actual bathroom but left it badly damaged. A sink was torn off the wall and a stall door was almost torn off its hinges.

Employees said the UD students stole bottles of champagne and they eventually had to call the police to get them out.

Lt. Larry Faulkner of the Dayton Police Department said, "I am rather surprised by this, and this is under investigation, . . . . They could face criminal charges."

University of Dayton officials released this statement late Monday.

"The University of Dayton offices of Community Standards and Civility and Student Development are reviewing all available information regarding this weekend's incident at the Webster Street Market involving the University of Dayton's chapter of Alpha Phi fraternity. Disciplinary action from the University is possible, pending a careful review of the results of the investigation. The University will cooperate with the city of Dayton's police investigation. Both the fraternity and any involved students will be held accountable to the University's community standards of behavior. The University of Dayton's standards of behavior and code of conduct are informed by the Catholic and Marianist philosophy of community living, the University mission statement, as well as federal, state and local laws. The University's standards of behavior are applicable to all students and student organizations regardless of the location of the violation."

Some students on campus told us they weren't surprised to hear the party got rowdy. "It does happen a lot on campus. I'm not going to lie. So I think it's unfortunate that they would do that but, it does happen," said Soleil Verse.

Those at The Market said they are sending the sorority the entire clean-up bill.

Um, ripping a sink out of a wall isn't minor, period. It's purposeful and planned destruction of property.

Do you know how much work it takes to fix that? I'm betting that the plumbing came out of the wall, which could cause leaks and problems well beyond the wall unit, not to mention the structure around it.

I laughed so hard when he told me that. Then he goes "well, I had to empty the beer somewhere"...hilarious!!! Just the mental image.

How is that funny??

I had to give it some thought, but I could see how a sink could come off a wall without intentionally trying to rip a sink off a wall.

One "Mardi Gras" a sink was removed from the wall in the men's restroom as a couple was using it for other activities. I'm more disturbed by people peeing in the corner, are there no potted plants?
