Five USC Fraternity Brothers Arrested While Stealing Party Decorations From Nearby Yards
I’m aware of how tight fraternity budgets can be. When dealing with upwards of a hundred degenerates, finances are not always the top priority. Some chapters make do with what they manage to collect; others use alternative methods of acquiring necessary materials.
Five University of Southern California Sigma Nus were arrested early yesterday morning on suspicion of theft. The men were busted thieving plants and garden statues from nearby homes, allegedly to be used in a future fraternity party.
From Pasadena Star-News:
Five USC students were arrested early Wednesday on suspicion of stealing plants and garden statues of a Buddha, cat and ducks from yards, police said.
They told officers the plants would be used as decorations at a future fraternity party, according to Sgt. Gerald Johnson. The fraternity they mentioned was Sigma Nu.
A gaggle of fraternity brothers stealing shit, that itself is nothing new. However, these boys forgot rules one and two of fraternity thievery: don’t get caught and DENY, DENY, DENY.
Arrested on suspicion of grand theft and conspiracy to commit grand theft were Dylan Walter, 19, Miles Horton, 18, Graham Vines, 18, Darshan Patel, 18, and Eyobed Mesfun, 19. Police said the five live on campus.
The Facebook pages for the five suspects mention a Sigma Nu “Rumble” for Oct. 11. It’s not clear if this was the party that required the plant decor. A representative for the fraternity couldn’t be reached for comment on Wednesday.
However, the design used in the “Rumble” photo on their Facebook pages consisted of birds and fronds. Four of the suspects used it as their profile pictures.
Parties are fun. Parties are great. Even when abusing copious amounts of alcohol in order to stifle regret, it’s tough to enjoy yourself knowing what the future may hold.
Their bail was set at $20,000 each, and all five had posted bail by Wednesday night.
Use this as a reminder. Don’t get fucking caught. .

11 years ago at 12:09 pmThey weren’t wearing letters dip shit, its called social media.
11 years ago at 12:17 pmWhere’d it say they were in letters?
11 years ago at 1:57 pmHow their fraternity budget be tight when each of their 20K bails were posted the next morning??
11 years ago at 12:22 pm20k bail is only like a grand if you go through a bail bondsman. İ wish i didnt know that.
11 years ago at 12:28 pmCongratulations. You don’t.
Bail bondsman typically charge 10-15% of the cost of the bail. 20k bail would run you more like $2000 – $3000 than a grand.

11 years ago at 1:53 pmYou’re really splitting cunt hairs, aren’t you sport?
11 years ago at 7:00 pmMost of us are wondering if anything will happen to them. USC’s SAE chapter got its charter revoked by nationals a couple of days ago for violating the dry house and no pledge policy multiple times. They’re off for three years. Watching to see if SigNu nationals will do anything, or if USC IFC or President Nikias will do something. Rough time for Greek life at USC as of late.
11 years ago at 12:25 pmRough time for Greek life anywhere right now
11 years ago at 1:44 pmAin’t that the truth.
11 years ago at 7:37 pmFight on!
11 years ago at 12:26 pmBased on their ages and how badly they managed to fuck up, I’m going to assume they’re pledges
11 years ago at 12:47 pmSo they can post roughly 10K in bail for all 5 of them, but they can’t find a guy named Juan/Jose to go “buy” some plants for them? Dipshits should be dropped.
11 years ago at 12:48 pmİm guessing that this was a tradition for the pledges. We have something similar….and yes it is retarded
11 years ago at 12:51 pmIt’s a traidition. They do it every year
11 years ago at 1:01 pm
11 years ago at 2:07 pmRisking arrest to steal greenery so they can decorate for a party? These guys are either retarded or gay. Either way it’s a bad look.
