Last week, we brought you the story of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house at Rowan University burning down.
Ryan Alwine, 21, and his girlfriend, Elisa Obedoza, 23, were sleeping at the 411 Hamilton Road home when neighbors began knocking on the door to wake them up just before 4:30 A.M. After realizing the house, which is the university’s Phi Kappa Psi house, was on fire, Alwine and Obedoza grabbed what they could and got out.
Obedoza was able to retrieve her purse and jacket while Alwine was only able to grab his backpack and a few other things. A third resident, Jake Kershaw, who had just started living in the house, was also sleeping inside during the fire.
Now, the brothers of Phi Kappa Psi are offering a $2000 reward for information on the arson that destroyed their chapter house.

The fire was deemed an arson by authorities and is still under investigation. The brothers of the fraternity are now offering a reward of $2,000 for information leading to an arrest.
