It’s not unusual for a fraternity to burn their house down—my own alma mater banned Greek life for just that reason—but rarely do we have a perfect Snapchat narrative of the occasion.

BroBible reports that a residential building at Chico State University in California, home to a chapter of the fraternity Sigma Chi, was lately damaged by a fire. Nobody was injured, but in watching a few video snippets, you may begin to understand what went wrong—and why Sigma Chi was suspended by CSU last year, ultimately choosing to sever ties with the school.

That girl who says “It’ll be funny in two weeks” couldn’t be more wrong—it’s funny right now.
