The Alpha Phi sorority held a formal on Saturday, March 27 that ended with a visit from the Dayton police.

The formal took place at The Deli in the top of the Market Banquet Center downtown, where students' behavior became out of hand and caused damage to the facility.

"There wasn't a huge problem with the girls; they weren't doing the damage," said Michelle Landis, director of operations at the banquet center. "The gentlemen that were there [were the problem]. They took some things off the walls [and] kicked off a bathroom wall."

Students also stole alcohol, broke glasses, covered the floors and walls with ketchup and mustard and vomited and urinated on the carpet. The sorority will be paying for the damages.

Police did not make any arrests but issued citations for public intoxication and disorderly conduct, according to the Dayton Daily News.

The university is looking into the incident and is working with Alpha Phi to fix the relationship with the banquet center, according to Sarah Schoper, associate director and assistant dean of students.

UD will review its policies for future formals and other student events, but no changes have been made as of now.

"We will make recommendations after the investigation," Schoper said. "We expect all student groups to adhere to the university's risk management policies, in addition to those of any organization with which they are affiliated."

Student groups should learn from the Alpha Phi incident and ensure that they are following university policies and exemplifying UD's values, according to Schoper.

"[I'm] counting this as one of those once in a lifetime things," Landis said. "It doesn't tarnish my image of UD at all."
