<p>While I do agree that those girls let themselves get way out-of-hand, I also felt that the owners of both places over-reacted in both situations. In the first case, the police should have never been summoned for the damages as they resulted from wild partying / use of the facility instead of willful vandalism by a specific person. In the latter case, the owner of the lodge should not have made a bigoted decision to ban all Greek organizations based on the atypical results of one event by just one such organization.</p>
<p>While I do sympathize with the two managers, I do have to say that there needs to be a place where all this wild partying can go on without consequences. I’ve personally been thinking about running a venue that’s virtually indestructible (without heavily machinery) and can be hosed down after any event. It’d be located in an area with few neighbors as to minimize complaints. Then, people can have wild parties without consequences…</p>
well i’ve been to some warehouse parties (no not the illegal raves) where you can pretty much do whatever the hell you want, because, well, it’s a warehouse. but obviously if you’re going to a club/bar/lounge or any other venue, even if it exists to party, there is a certain level of decency expected of you as a human being - like not pooping in the urinals, is that so much to ask? that’s just…gross. </p>
<p>haha and $47k? that’s gotta suck</p>
<p>Oh and i hope that couple doesn’t wind up pregnant, because I’d feel sorry for the poor kid that was conceived as a result of his daddy humpin’ his momma in the midst of a cheering throng of trashy folks livin it up in west virginia</p>

<p>I think the police were summoned so the owners could have an official record/report of what had happened, and it gave them a more legitimate reason to withhold the deposit. It’s a lot easier to sue somebody when you have the law enforcement backing you up. I also don’t see anything wrong with how they reacted, because to me it sounded like it was becoming a dangerous situation where people could have gotten hurt. And it also didn’t sound like it was just wild partying, but it was legitimate vandalism. If I were a club owner I may have made the same decision because I wouldn’t want to risk losing money to a group of stupid rowdy kids again.</p>
<p>I think it is unfair to lump all pi phi’s together. Not every pi phi from miami or OU attended these formals. Not every pi phi in the US attended either. This was the decision of a select few that is reflecting negatively on their sisters (and other sororities and fraternities) and overshadowing the good greek life does. </p>
<p>& furthermore, many fraternities and sororities require security at their events, obviously these issues have come from years of not having any consequences and it all built up.</p>
<p>I wonder where the morality of all these kids gone to. I know those kids wanted to have fun and all, but come on; where the respect to the places. What disturbed me the most is how sexual intercourse is so casual that even in public places they are doing it. Whatever happen to our self morals.</p>
