Tuesday residents that live close to The University of California Berkeley filed a lawsuit against their neighboring fraternities. The Contra Coast Times Reports…
The lawsuit, filed in Alameda County Superior Court against more than 70 groups and property owners, contends that the fraternities make life miserable for neighbors by encouraging underage drinking, littering sidewalks and streets, partying all night and shooting pellet guns at residents. The suit asks for unspecified monetary damages and an end to the noise and destruction.
The university did not comment, but obviously this is going to stretch town gown relations around the Berkeley campus. This will also be interesting to see if sets a precedent for future lawsuits.
