<text>  Tim OConnell and his wife pictured here were driven to their wits end by the rowdy fraternity members next door . A Texas fraternity at the Southern Methodist University has suspended eight members for terrorizing their neighbors. Security footage of rowdy Sigma Chi brothers filmed by Tim OConnell, 42, reveals how they would urinate on his fence, write obscenities into the snow on his yard, spit on his house and throw raw meat onto his patio. Just like the Hollywood movie Neighbors, starring Seth Rogen and Zac Efron, the dispute began when OConnell and his wife complained about the noise from the off-campus students, who lived in an upmarket home near to SMU. I brought it to their attention and said you cant do that. They told me they pay rent and they can do whatever they want. Its their right, OConnell recounted to News 8. In a statement to address the behavior of their members, the Sigma Chi fraternity said that hopefully now the OConnells will be able to sleep better. The apology is just the first step in making amends to you for the tenants actions. I am also working on various forms of punishment for the culprits, wrote Steve Harrington, Sigma Chi chapter advisor, in an e-mail to OConnell that was shared with News 8. Appalled by the actions of their neighbors, OConnell and his wife set up a camera and caught the young men next door violating their property and hurling abuse their way. Warring: Tim OConnell claims his life was made a misery living next door to Sigma Chi brothers who lived in the house on the right, while OConnell lived in the house on the left . Like a movie: Tim OConnells experience was reminiscent of the Zac Efron and Seth Rogen comedy Neighbors which featured a married couple battling a party-loving fraternity . OConnell told News 8 the disgusting behavior escalated after he complained about their noise. In response to viewing the footage of their members urinating on OConnells fence and writing f you into the snow on their front lawn, the fraternity have said they will also fine the members. I want to make this a learning opportunity for these men, Harrington wrote in the e-mail to OConnell. I believe that community service and charitable work andor donations would show them a way to get out of themselves. I believe that being young and self-centered is the main contributor to the behavior they displayed, showing no regard for others. We need to teach them otherwise. OConnell claims he asked SMU for help before, but got no response. According to News 8 an investment firm is the owner of the the home and they admitted that OConnell has had problems with the tennents before. One of the investors told News 8 that the fraternity will be leaving in May.
