CHICO, Calif. -- Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity brothers at California State University, Chico, who allegedly went on a tree-cutting binge in the Lassen National Forest, are now facing criminal charges.
CBS San Francisco reports the fraternity brothers are accused of hacking down more than 32 trees as part of an initiation ceremony in April for new pledges.
Each member now faces charges that include vandalism, illegal firearms and degrading U.S. territory. Their president, Evan Jossey, is also being charged with federal crimes.
But the brothers say they didn't do anything wrong. It's finals weeks at the university and the men are lying low. It's not just the pressure of final exams -- it's also the pressure of a federal investigation.

ReplyDeleteMake it so. California has some of the most beautiful forests in its state and federal park systems, all of it protected against stupidity of this caliber.
ReplyDeleteWhy not stick to hazing and assaulting pledges like regular fraternities?

ReplyDeleteThey probably used battery chainsaws so in liberals mind it's ok.
DeleteThe only reason battery powered lawn equipment exists is because grouchy wingnuts like to sleep in past 10 on a Saturday.
