My sister's drunken whore roommates (serious, longish)

[PoBoy321]

My sister just started her freshman year of college and while lots of things have been going well for her (classes are good, she joined the crew team) her roommate situation is absolutely awful. She is in a triple and both of her roommates get inappropriately drunk nearly every night and frequently come home at odd hours of the night with guys they've just met. Last night, one of her roommates apparently came home drunk at 3am with 2 guys, one of whom wrote on my sister's face with a permanent marker while she was sleeping. Normally, I would be the last one to decry someone for getting drunk and acting like an idiot, but the way that these two girls have treated my sister for the past month absolutely disgusts me. They have absolutely no respect for my sister, her property or her privacy.

There was a specific issue a few weeks ago where one of the girls came back to the room drunk, started throwing my sister's things around the room, got sick in the room, then tried to get into a fight with my sister. She spoke to the RA about the issues that she's been having and the possibility of changing her room assignment, yet two weeks later, he has taken absolutely no action to resolve the isssue. After the incident last night, she knows that something has to change.

My question is: What do you think is the best remedy?

My mom told my sister that she should talk to the RA, give him one more chance, try to have him handle the issue and hopefully resolve everything.

I said that the RA had his chance, he didn't take any action (not even the minimum disciplinary action for drunkenness and room damage) and now he's as much at fault as the roommates. I said to go above his head, first to the residence hall director and explain to him the ineffectiveness of the RA, the atrocious situation with the roommates and her general displeasure with the university's response to the problem. Should the residence hall director so much as blink before fixing the problems, go above his head to the student life director, tell him the situation, the fact that none of the people working underneath him are doing their jobs and be sure that at the very least, the RA is removed.

Obviously, some of you might think that my idea is a little harsh, but I really don't think that there's any way that I can really describe just how awful the situation is.

So which route is better and do you have any other suggestions?

Go above the RA, keep going up until she gets a good answer.

technically, isn't the drawing on the face thing assault and battery? have the chicks arrested.

The chicks didn't draw on her face, some random guy did.

This is the correct answer.

I think your response is spot on, and I'd throw in offering to handle it all for her too if she has any qualms about doing it herself. These goons are being paid by her (or on her behalf) to take care of this crap. Get them earning their money.

If I had them, I might post them, but they're really not much too look at. One, while she's blonde and has a decent body, has stringy hair and an oily pock-marked face. The other just looks like a horse.

Agreed. I don't know if trying to get people removed from their jobs is the answer, but I think getting a new room is a must at this point.
