Michigan State University's chapter of Lambda Phi Epsilon fraternity was cited in December after local firefighters found a plethora of fire code violations in their house.

Brothers had bags and paper plates taped over smoke detectors inside the house, warranting a total of 14 fire code violations, firefighters said.

"The connection between alcohol use, careless disposal of smoking materials, lack of sprinkler systems and tampering with alarms - it's just something that's extremely, extremely dangerous," said Bob Pratt, a fire marshal in East Lansinf, Mich., after dishing out the citations.
