The video in the first post, which is the only news story I've been able to find, states the house was empty other than the house mom. With school being out a week by then I wouldn't expect the girls to be there. More often than not we close our houses for the summer and do maintenance, whereas many men keep their homes open and sorority women rent summer housing. Sigma Chi has apartment style housing here and many women share during summer school.
Let's just say if I were to ever prank someone or someones I'd actually want them to find out so I could see their reaction and then have a good laugh and wait for my turn. I'm the kind of person to leave clues, a "ransom note" and identify myself somehow. I sure as hell wouldn't break in or destroy anything, nor would I surprise someone alone right before dawn. Not that our house moms would be carrying concealed weapons due to our insurance policies but in general I assume people are armed and I'd like to avoid getting shot as well as breaking the law.
ETA: I forgot this in my previous post. There is no mention of alcohol being a factor, but they were arrested at 5 am or something like that. I just kind of assumed at 5 am on a Saturday the decision to break into unoccupied Pi Phi, except for the house mom, was brought to us by the letters L-I-Q-U-O-R. Since they are both 19 that would be another charge but with felony burglary an MIP isn't really worth the court's time. Since they are 19 there could be something from before 18 that could come back and be a bigger problem if they had a special situation for previous issues that was a condition of straightening up and flying right.
