Police bust Pi Phi invite party

Three students and one bartender are facing misdemeanor charges in the wake of an undercover operation by Alcoholic Beverage Control that found numerous incidents of underage drinking at a Pi Beta Phi sorority invite on Feb. 25.

The incident has also prompted the Panhellenic Council to consider future changes in how sorority invites are run.

The event, which was held at the Wyndham Bel Age Hotel in West Hollywood, was shut down early around 11:30 p.m. by hotel management, and students were sent home.

A male student was cited for purchasing alcohol for a minor, two female students were cited for false IDs and underage drinking, and a hotel bartender was cited for serving alcohol to minors. The students and bartender were released on condition of appearing in court.
