Things were quiet at the Alpha Phi House on Brown Street Monday afternoon, but some people said a few of the sisters got very loud over the weekend.
Allysa Smith said, "They were acting like animals."
Smith was working at Alpha Phi's Top of the Market formal party on Saturday night. "They were just picking up wine glasses and just chucking them at the bartenders and just throwing everything on the top of the bar," said Smith.
There were approximately 200 people at the party and Smith said many of the girls and their dates were drunk and out of control.
Smith said, "Guys were going to the bathroom, down just in the carpet in the corner."
There were some students who used the actual bathroom but left it badly damaged. A sink was torn off the wall and a stall door was almost torn off its hinges.
Employees said the UD students stole bottles of champagne and they eventually had to call the police to get them out.
Lt. Larry Faulkner of the Dayton Police Department said, "I am rather surprised by this, and this is under investigation, so we'll have to see how it shakes out. They could face criminal charges."
University of Dayton officials released this statement late Monday. "The University of Dayton offices of Community Standards and Civility and Student Development are reviewing all available information regarding this weekend's incident at the Webster Street Market involving the University of Dayton's chapter of Alpha Phi fraternity. Disciplinary action from the University is possible, pending a careful review of the results of the investigation. The University will cooperate with the city of Dayton's police investigation. Both the fraternity and any involved students will be held accountable to the University's community standards of behavior. The University of Dayton's standards of behavior and code of conduct are informed by the Catholic and Marianist philosophy of community living, the University mission statement, as well as federal, state and local laws. The University's standards of behavior are applicable to all students and student organizations regardless of the location of the violation."
Some students on campus told us they weren't surprised to hear the party got rowdy. "It does happen a lot on campus. I'm not going to lie. So I think it's unfortunate that they would do that but, it does happen," said Soleil Verse.
Those at The Market said they are sending the sorority the entire clean-up bill.
