Famously, a decade ago, Phi Delt brothers committed arson and nearly murdered the neighboring frat (Chi Gam) while its brothers were asleep in their beds (see below description from The Dartmouth). Karmic retribution?

“In Dec. 1999, four members of Phi Delta Alpha fraternity broke into Chi Gam and ignited a table and curtains using citronella oil, causing significant smoke damage to the basement, according to reports published in The Dartmouth at the time. Phi Delt’s failure to take action against these students contributed to the fraternity’s derecognition in March 2000.”

In response to your entirely speculative “reporting”, I offer the following observations:

1. I was there that night, there was no fire burning in the fireplace when I left (2 AM). That’s not to say no one lit one later, but in that case it would only have been burning for a maximum of 3 hours before the fire was discovered. Not “all night”.

2. The fraternity owns the building. During derecognition (2003-2005), the College leased the building from the fraternity corporation to house graduate students. The article refers to that arrangement and its cessation. A casual reading of the article clearly indicates the College as the lessee and the fraternity as the lessor. (Write this down: read things before saying nonsense).

I realize that nobody actually reads this blog for anything other than pure entertainment, but if you’re going to use words like “irresponsible chimney use” in reference to a real-life corporation like Phi Delta Alpha I recommend you get your shit straight first. Fraternities get enough of an irresponsibility rap already without this kind of bush league rumor mongering.

” Now, nobody should expect thermodynamics to be one of Phi Delt’s specialities, but a little foresight here may have been useful.”

Actually, many Phi Delt’s are engineers and have taken thermo classes, which are substantially more difficult than your probably comp lit degree that you’re working SOOOOO HARD FOR!

Fuck you, Ivygate. Get your facts straight.

Hey Alex, just read your article. There’s a lot of potential for humor here, although perhaps it’s a bit too soon to attempt. These young men just had their house burned down. Perhaps you’ve had the good fortune in your short pathetic little life to never lose anything, but usually some sympathy is the appropriate response when someone loses everything they own and their house. I hope you understand that last sentence and aren’t, in fact, dead inside.

So yeah, the situation lends itself to some humor, but, sadly, you’re a shitty writer with a terrible sense of humor. I hope you weren’t trying to make a career out of writing, and, if so, I highly recommend jumping ship. Perhaps just drown yourself?

Some highlights from your challenged article, a product of your challenged mind:

“In laymen’s terms”- you sound like a pretentious cocksucker

“nobody should expect thermodynamics to be one of Phi Delt’s specialities”- omg you must be soooo smart, you used a scientific term and then asserted your superior intelligence. kudos!

“Forced sobriety and infernos!”- hahaha. sobriety can’t be forced.

“University”- no

“reap the rewards of Dartmouth”- yeah, these dudes are living it up, they just lost all their sweet shit and house and now get stuff other people don’t want. for free! sweet!

The ‘material’ the Hanover FD was talking about was from a squirrel had made a nest between a steam pipe and the chimney. The nest dried out and acted like kindling. In the US there were 396,000 house fires in 2005, with 11.4% of those caused by the heating system. So, in that one year, around 45,000 house fires started in a similar way. This was hardly frat boys being irresponsible, and more like a 100+ year old house having some issues. Whether it’s because you enjoy just speculating, or laughing about people having all of their things destroyed, this article was very irresponsible.

Looks like one bitter Phi Delt is out in full swing today. I especially like how all his posts are made within minutes of his others. Really subtle. Oh, and @Zig: “in reference to a real-life corporation like Phi Delta Alpha.” We’re talking about a frat dude, not G.E. Who fucking cares whether its legally a “corporation” or not, this is a blog. If you don’t like it, leave.

Dartmouth is not a “University,” dickwad.

Just looked up AK on Facebook. Didn’t want to be out on the fun. Yeah, he looks like an asshole. Groton and Yale, a real pedigree for douchebaggery. He must really be in touch with the proletariat.

Sorry for the triple-post, but I wanted to make one last comment. I think it’s great that most people come here to read the comments, not the blog. What a shit stain, the blog. The comments are great, though. I love you guys.
