Frat Party — Off‑campus House (Georgetown University)

Throbbing music, plastic cups, and packed rooms collapse into a single, volatile instant: a crowded campus house turned social furnace where laughter and sloppy bravado mask risk. Authorities later cut through that noise — flashing lights and handcuffs refract a private mess into public scandal. As the origin point of a felony drug arrest and the place where Zoey was reported to have been, the venue functions as an off‑campus pressure cooker that converts youthful chaos into immediate political crisis by morning.
