Four Boston University students are facing charges for organising two wild parties in September and January, at a house on Linden Street in Allston. The students were ordered to stay away from drugs and alcohol.

After the first party September 21, 2013, the four student hosts were charged for maintaining a disorderly house and were placed on pre-trial probation. Boston police officers found at least one underage drinker, strewn empty liquor bottles and smelled marijuana at the house. The students were told that the charges would be dismissed if they stayed out of trouble.

John Pavia, Sawyer Petric, and Terry Bartrug and Michael Oldcorn, all aged 20, were placed in custody Tuesday night for violating the probation terms set after the first party, but were released Friday morning. Michael O'Hara, Boston Police Sergeant, said that two other residents of the house were also charged in connection with the second party, Boston Globe reports.

"I think they need to have an understanding of what it means to be someone's neighbor-and also responsible," Judge David Donnelly said. "Their parents have gone to great lengths, great sacrifice, great expense, for these four young men to go to a world-class university," Boston reports.

Kenneth Elmore, BU Dean of Students, suspended the fraternity, Zeta Beta Tau, pending the outcome of an investigation by the Interfraternity Council and the Office of Judicial Affairs.

"We believe that the January 26 incident is likely to have been a ZBT function, and we believe that four of five students living at the house are members of ZBT," Elmore said in a statement. "It is alleged that the gathering was organized by ZBT and was part of a recruitment event, and that there was underage drinking at the event."

According to the police report, guests at the January party told the officials that the house was used by Z.B.T.

O'Hara said that the apartment was particularly arranged for drinking games for the January party. The house was in a complete mess post-party.

"... they're not being put in jail for being a keeper of a disorderly house," O'Hara said. "They're being put in jail because of the fact that they violated the probation. . . . That's a serious offense. That's an affront to the court."

O'Hara said that it is the first time he has witnessed part-goers getting arrested.

"We expect our students to be good neighbours and respect the laws," Boston University spokesman Colin Riley said.
