Prank or not, ill intent or not, they were caught in the act of breaking the law. This prank will cost them.
While they may truly have had no intent to bring harm to any of the girls, as a parent of hopefully a future sorority woman, I dont want to receive a call telling me boys broke in/attempted to break in to her sorority house for a prank or otherwise.
As an advisor and former Facility Corp. President, I can think of many reasons why this isnt humorous. If that second story window was someone's bedroom they broke in to, would it be funny then? I doubt it would be for the girls sleeping in there. What if a member's bed happened to be under that window with the member in it? Would it be a funny prank if one of those boys accidentally fell on her? It wouldnt be to me.

We could talk all day about what could have happened, but as far as what actually *did* happen, there was no property damage and nobody was hurt.
Do I think there should be consequences? Sure, but they've already served a night in jail, and that is probably far worse than a lot of college students will deal with for doing a lot of far stupider things.

What if it wasn't two students, but rather two adult males who weren't affiliated with the school at all? Would you feel the same way?
What if someone broke into your house in the middle of the night... would you not want them arrested because there was no property damage and no one was hurt?

So.. because some students might not have been punished for doing other stupid things, these two shouldn't be punished for doing this?
ETA: The guys SAID they were breaking in to "look for secrets and stuff," but hell, if I were really breaking in to steal/vandalize property, assault someone, or possibly rape them, I'd probably say the same thing.
You just never know.

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.

I'm sure they did it because we're known to keep our secret stuff easily accessible and also, we leave documents with dirt on all the sisters out where people can see them.
Wait a minute. This might be ritual information for us. Maybe I shouldn't have revealed this and the delete button isn't working. Mods!!!!!!
