Alpha Beta Alpha brother Chad Williams always thought of himself as a law-abiding kid. He never stole a car, he never murdered his brother, and he never, ever created a lawn chair-based pyramid scheme. In fact, besides doing a little coke here and there, Williams had always stayed on the right side of the law.

That is, until last Thursday.

Wanting to attend a parade in the morning, and being unable to enjoy anything unintoxicated, Williams decided to host an early-morning pregame. “Green Eggs and Kegs,” the title he came up with, was a clever twist on the classic Dr. Seuss book—or so he thought.

A half hour into the drowsy beer-drinking gathering, a SWAT team raided the party and arrested Williams on a tip from Random House, the late Dr. Seuss’s publisher.

He is currently serving five to eight years in prison for his wrongdoing.

Let this be a lesson to you all: crime pays.
