Fraternity House At Cal State Chico Catches Fire Before Classes Even Start
The Sigma Chi house at California State University, Chico caught fire and was damaged on Friday morning.
Just after 3 a.m., a fire started in a duplex behind the fraternity house before it spread to the attic. It was strong enough to trigger the ceiling sprinklers in the neighboring building.
Police don’t expect foul play to be involved. The fire started on somebody’s desk and then spread throughout the complex.
Here are some photos of the house–that’s some serious damage.

Who knows what they were making Friday night, but school hasn’t even started yet and one fraternity house has already burned up.
Welcome to Chico State, incoming freshmen!
Shocked it wasn’t SAE

10 years ago at 11:39 amThey might as well catch on fire all throughout the nation
10 years ago at 12:12 pmThey chose to disaffiliate from campus, rather than serve their two-year suspension for having brewing equipment in their house. They didn’t “lose their privilege” to be affiliated with the school. You kinda made this sound like a campus newspaper piece, rather than giving the Greek side of things, or making it funny (at all).

Quite the source you have there, HelmetStickers
10 years ago at 2:21 pmDo you have connections with, say, a google search?
10 years ago at 2:25 pmMost people just call it Chico State
10 years ago at 2:54 pmIt’s California State University Chico or Chico State. Whichever you prefer…. I really hope you’re not paying him, Dorno.
10 years ago at 3:16 pmI’m a Sigma chi at Chico state, and as of now we have no idea who started the fire. No brothers were home at the time of the blaze.
10 years ago at 5:42 pmWell bud, you’re typing it, not saying it. So there’s that. Google it and stop pretending to be dumber than you actually are.
