Animal Deaths,  Unruly Fraternity House

March 14 at 12:57 p.m. A female reported that residents at a North Clarke Street fraternity house were keeping a disorderly house, according to Public Safety.  She stated that she believed the residents of the North Clarke Street fraternity house or another fraternity mutilated a dead possum by slicing its stomach open and exposing fetuses and then placed a whiskey bottle near its mouth and a pack of cigarettes beside it.  She thought that the animal was placed in the grass area between the street and sidewalk in front of the North Clarke Street fraternity house in retaliation for a dead goose being thrown on the lawn of the other fraternity house.  She further stated that a resident across the street from the North Clarke Street fraternity house found their car hood dented with foot prints following a party at the house.  She also pointed out that broken glass beer bottles are routinely on the city sidewalk around the area in front of the North Clarke Street fraternity house.  She also stated that she felt verbally assaulted by seven unknown members of the North Clarke Street fraternity while riding her bike by the location on a Friday morning.  She stated that the males yelled “fag” and/or “faggot” and were drinking what appeared to be alcohol and were visibly intoxicated. She stated that neighbors have made reports of girls screaming coming from the location.
