Students from the University of Oregon are accused of throwing a wild fraternity party at California's Lake Shasta and trashing the campgrounds on Slaughterhouse Island.
Images shared across social media showed garbage, coolers of food, abandoned tents and other objects; some items bore the University of Oregon logo and others featured Greek fraternity letters.

The lake has long had a thriving party scene. As many as 1,000 college students have been known to hang out there on rented houseboats at the same time, according to The Oregonian.
"What was different about this [party] is they left behind an incredible amount of trash," Phyllis Swanson, a spokeswoman for the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, told the newspaper.
Sgt. Rob Sandbloom, of the Shasta County Sheriff's Department boating unit, told Willamette Week it was a "typical weekend" on the lake and some citations were issued, but no arrested were made.
Asked why students would leave so much garbage behind, Sandbloom told the paper, "My personal guess is they have no respect for mankind, but professionally, I don't know."
