Delta Upsilon House Fire - U. of Michigan (Ann Arbor)
There are no injuries but the house is virtually destroyed, according to news stories. The house was on the state's Historic Register, reportedly:

Update May 31, 2008
A more recent article suggests that it may be possible to do restoration of the house:

Here's a link that will take you to the school's greek pages and a link to what the house looked like...

With the Sig Ep fire several weeks ago at another school, there sure are a lot of bad fires lately...
glad everyone got out safely...

Wow, that's the house right across the street from the Alpha Gam house at Michigan.It was truly an amazing piece of architecture. I believe it was designed by Albert Kahn, a premiere architect in the Detroit area (there's an building called the Albert Kahn building in Detroit).
I'm so glad there no injuries. I didn't hear anything about this on the local news but then again, they were just focused on the Red Wings victory tonight and the Pistons loss last night...

San Jose's DU House was burned down like three years ago too. Very lame. Fire sucks.

At least they didn't have to worry about anyone finding their ritual book not completely burnt.

Very astute Nate, one of the many advantages of being non-secretive.
