Alpha Omicron Pi's Recruitment Party Sparks Outrage in London, Ontario

Last weekend, a recruitment event organized by the Alpha Omicron Pi sorority took place at a rental property on Sunnyside Drive in London, Ontario, leading to significant disruption in the local neighborhood. The event involved multiple groups of 30-45 women being bussed to the house, which angered residents who reported noise and traffic issues. The property owner, Jithin Das, claimed he was not informed about the scale of the event, stating he was only aware of a smaller group arriving. He expressed regret over the situation and mentioned that Airbnb is investigating the matter. The sorority president defended their actions, asserting that they had communicated their plans to the homeowner and emphasized that the event was alcohol-free and intended to minimize noise. However, local residents, including Chris Prater, reported witnessing large groups of young women being dropped off, creating a chaotic scene. Complaints about short-term rentals in the area have been ongoing, with neighbors expressing frustration over the disturbances caused by various groups renting the property. This incident has raised concerns about the impact of short-term rentals on residential neighborhoods and the responsibilities of property owners in managing such events.
