More frat boy antics


Hard to see, but in the background are several frat people (also behind truck) who may have been responsible for dumping junk in front of my room

So today while I was lolling around my apartment (currently I'm on spring break), the frat people, after a drinking binge, poured some unidentified liquid on the cement walkway in front of my door, all the while chanting "fuck that bitch, fuck that bitch."

I presume the frat people are picking on me b/c I never interact with them (for precisely reasons such as this), but really this is too much.

So I stuck my head out and found 2 guys and 1 girl turning around and walking away. When I asked which of them was responsible, the guys acted dumb and so did the girl, but the girl mumbled incoherently something along the lines that she didn't know etc.

I called the local police but without dialing 911, and the lady at the phone sympathized with me but told me I should have called 911 immediately so they could have written something up. I told her the name of the frat responsible (Kappa Sigma) and she said they were not currently on the list of officially recognized UCSB frats.

This then begs the question whether they have the right to call themselves a frat, or if the list the IV foot patrol has not been updated.
