Arson Fire at U. of Georgia Fraternity (Tau Epsilon Phi)

A fire at the Tau Epsilon Phi house at the U of Georgia was deliberately set, according to investigators. Thirty-one students were reportedly in the house at the time, but apparently no injuries.

TV station's brief story:

Here's hoping they find whoever did this. Also hoping to learn of assistance to the Tau Epsilon Phi brothers from other Greeks at UGA.

I read some of their history and since they are a Jewish organization.....the arson could be considered a hate crime....

Not that I'm aware of from news stories. There is a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest, and some stations and newspapers have published the state arson hotline's number.
