COUNT I - BREACH OF LEASE
SHIPPENSBURG UNIVERSITY FOUNDATION VS
ALL DEFENDANTS, JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY
31. The averments of Paragraphs 1 through 30, inclusive,
are incorporated herein by reference thereto.
32. When the tenants vacated the premises at the expiration
of the Lease, May 31, 1996, one month's rental, the sum of Two
Thousand Six Hundred Fifty ($2,650.00) Dollars was unpaid and
remains due and owing.
33. Paragraph 16 of the Lease Agreement provided that

Hundred Fifty-five and 46/100 ($1,455.46) Dollars which was paid
by the Plaintiff and has not been reimbursed by the tenants.
34. During the term of the Lease Agreement, the tenants

suit, interest from June 1, 1996, and reasonable attorney fees
actually incurred in pursuing this cause of action to judgment,
an amount in excess of Twenty Thousand ($20,000.00) Dollars, and
therefore in excess of the amount requiring compulsory
arbitration.
COUNT II - INTENTIONAL DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY
SHIPPENSBURG UNIVERSITY FOUNDATION VS.
ALL DEFENDANTS, JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY
36. The averments of Paragraphs 1 through 35, inclusive,
are incorporated herein by reference thereto.
37. On or about late April, 1996, the Plaintiff was advised
through Shippensburg University that there were "campus rumors"
that the members of the Kappa-Lambda Chapter of the Kappa-Sigma
International Fraternity were planning to willfully and
deliberately destroy the leased premises.
38. In response to the foregoing information, the Plaintiff
held a meeting with a number of the officers of the Fraternity,
all of whom were tenants under the Lease Agreement, Exhibit "A",
and are Defendants in this action.
39. Representatives of the Plaintiff confronted the said
Defendants with the "rumors" and advised them that each and every
member of the Fraternity would be held jointly and severally
-5-
accountable for any damage
all tenants be advised and
property was not damaged.
40. Representatives of the Plaintiff further specifically
advised said Defendants the Plaintiff, Shippensburg University
and the local Police Department would respond immediately if any
Defendant/Tenant contacted the Plaintiff, appropriate personnel
at the University, or the local Police Department that acts of
willful destruction were being or about to be committed at the
premises.
41. Despite the said conference and warnings, none of the
Defendants reported any acts of damage and destruction being
committed at the premises or requested any assistance.
42. At the expiration of the Lease, when Defendants/Tenants
vacated the premises, the Plaintiff found that the premises had
been substantially and deliberately destroyed by the Defendants
and that considerable trash, garbage and other debris had been
strewn around and about the premises by the Defendants/Tenants.
43. Not one single Defendant/Tenant made any effort to
obtain the assistance of the Plaintiff or other authorities to
which may be caused
that steps be taken
and requested
to insure the
that
avoid or limit the damages to the premises aforesaid.
44. Plaintiff believes and therefore aver that all
Defendants, jointly, by conspiracy and concerted action willfully
and deliberately acted together as a Fraternity to commit wanton
acts of destruction throughout the demised premises and to strew
it with trash, garbage and other debris with the intention of
damaging and destroying the property and rendering it
uninhabitable.
45. As a result of the aforesaid intentional and deliberate
damage and destruction of the leased premises, the Plaintiff
incurred repair costs in the sum of Thirty-three Thousand Four
Hundred Forty-seven and 07/100 ($33,447.07) Dollars, which are
itemized on Plaintiff's Exhibit "B" attached hereto and made a
-6-
part hereof.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays Your Honorable Court to enter
judgment against the Defendants, jointly and severally, in the
sum of Thirty-three Thousand Four Hundred Forty-seven and 07/100
($33,447.07) Dollars, together with costs and to award punitive
damages for the deliberate and willful destruction of the
premises, an amount in excess of Twenty Thousand ($20,000.00)
Dollars, and therefore in excess of the amount requiring
compulsory arbitration.

COUNT II - INTENTIONAL DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY
SHIPPENSBURG UNIVERSITY FOUNDATION VS.
ALL DEFENDANTS, JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY
36. The averments of Paragraphs 1 through 35, inclusive,
are incorporated herein by reference thereto.
37. On or about late April, 1996, the Plaintiff was advised
through Shippensburg University that a student, who was to become
a tenant at the premises after expiration of the Defendants'
lease, stated he had heard that members of the Kappa-Lambda
Chapter of the Kappa-Sigma International Fraternity were planning
to willfully and deliberately destroy the leased premises.
38. In response to the foregoing information, the Plaintiff
held a meeting with a number of the tenants, all of whom are
-5-
Defendants in this action.
39. Representatives of the Plaintiff confronted the said
Defendants with the allegation (which was denied by Defendants)
and advised them that each and every member of the Fraternity
would be held jointly and severally accountable for any damage
which may be caused and requested that all tenants be advised and
that steps be taken to insure the property was not damaged.
40. ~epresentatives of the Plaintiff further specifically
advised said Defendants that the Plaintiff, Shippensburg
University and the local Police Department would respond
immediately if any Defendant/Tenant contacted the Plaintiff,
appropriate personnel at the University, or the local Police
Department that acts of willful destruction were being or about
to be committed at the premises.
41. Despite the said conference and warnings, none of the
Defendants reported any acts of damage and destruc~ion being
committed at the premises or requested any assistance.
42. At the expiration of the Lease, when Defendants/Tenants
vacated the premises, the Plaintiff found that the premises had
been substantially and deliberately destroyed by the Defendants
and that considerable trash, garbage and other debris had been
strewn around and about the premises by the Defendants/Tenants.
43. Not one single Defendant/Tenant made any effort to
obtain the assistance of the Plaintiff or other authorities to
avoid or limit the damages to the premises aforesaid.
44. Plaintiff believes and therefore aver that Defendants,
jointly, by conspiracy and concerted action willfully and
deliberately acted together as a Fraternity to commit wanton acts
of destruction throughout the demised premises and to strew it
with trash, garbage and other debris with the intention of
damaging and destroying the property and rendering it
uninhabitable.

37. On or about late April, 1996, the Plaintiff was advised
through Shippensburg University that a student, who was to become

Chapter of the Kappa-Sigma International Fraternity were planning
to willfully and deliberately destroy the leased premises.

held a meeting with a number of the tenants, all of whom are
-5-
Defendants in this action.
39. Representatives of the Plaintiff confronted the said
Defendants with the allegation (which was denied by Defendants)
and advised them that each and every member of the Fraternity
would be held jointly and severally accountable for any damage
which may be caused and requested that all tenants be advised and
that steps be taken to insure the property was not damaged.
40. Representatives of the Plaintiff further specifically
,
advised said Defendants that the Plaintiff, Shippensburg
University and the local Police Department would respond
immediately if any Defendant/Tenant contacted the Plaintiff,
appropriate personnel at the University, or the local Police
Department that acts of willful destruction were being or about
to be committed at the premises.

been substantially and deliberately destroyed by the Defendants

deliberately acted together as a Fraternity to commit wanton acts
of destruction throughout the demised premises and to strew it
with trash, garbage and other debris with the intention of
damaging and destroying the property and rendering it
uninhabitable.
