Le Chateau co-op faces lawsuit from neighbors

Le Chateau, one of the more infamous of the co-ops run by the University Students Cooperative Association, is being sued for $105,000 by neighbors, claiming the co-op has been a public nuisance. The article in the SF Chronicle names several incidents committed by the co-op in the last few years including throwing pieces of a pig at passing cars and beheading a chicken with garden shears.

The house as recieved numerous other complaints from neighbors and the cops have visited the premises frequently. Still they maintain that "the activity at the Chateau is pretty much identical to what happens in every fraternity and sorority on campus.'' Soroities? Yeah, they're known for their animal decapatation parties (I can't necessarily say the same thing about the frats, though, just kidding).

Update: Calstuff Founder Kevin points out the age of the issue. The Daily Cal has had an article on the lawsuits since April.Email This Post!
