Kappa Alpha House Catches Fire, Members Try To Piss It Out

Screen Shot 2014-11-17 at 12.06.37 PM

Given the type of shenanigans that fraternity members tend to get into, it’s amazing that every frat house doesn’t burn down once a year. The latest house to go up in flames was Kappa Alpha at the University of Houston. According to the brothers who were there, they turned on the heater earlier in the day but it smelled weird, so they turned it off. However, someone later turned it back on, likely because weird smells aren’t nearly as annoying as hypothermia.

 

They soon discovered that it had set their entire attic on fire. One member grabbed a trash can, filled it up with water, and tried to one-man fire brigade the inferno with no luck. Another guy, who looks stoned off his ass in the video, proudly claims on live TV that he pissed on the fire. Whether or not he was serious or just fucking with the reporter is unclear.

There were thankfully no injuries, and most of the damage was contained to the attic. However, this serves as a reminder to fraternities all across the country. Make sure to have your heating and electrical systems inspected before winter hits. Also, don’t try to piss on fires larger than the size of a trashcan. Well, unless you’re my buddy Watkins, who drinks enough beer on an average Friday to put out a forest fire. If they were smart, they’d fly him over California during wildfire season.

      Dear Grandex,
      To victims of Arson who have endured painful skin graft surgeries this article is highly offensive. Please remove it.

        This isn’t some sort of progressive news column, pal. We don’t pander to make everyone equal. You know who else might be offended by the majority of posts on this site? GDIs, like yourself.

        I’m being sarcastic towards the types that Grandex is pandering to which resulted in the removal of the forum. You’re so dumb.

      I go to UH, they don’t care. By all reports it was just an accident and the KA house is off campus and privately owned.

    I was shy. Then I bought Rowdy Gent gear and girls started hitting on me. Now I have dates every night of the week.

    What I don’t get is why they didn’t shut it down when people’s personal shit was being posted but shut it down now because someone posted something not completely unlike what the staff posts themselves? Fuck you guys on general principle.

      Yeah, one of Tech Guys twitter pics is a fridge that says Butt Stuff. I saw another twitter where Rush was complaint about the number of dick pics being sent in the office. And Bolen just encouraged them to keep sending dick pics with more pixels.

        Fuck you too. Again, on general principle. I don’t care if you agree with me.
