FORT COLLINS, Colo. – It was supposed to be a welcome back to school fundraising party for a local charity put on by the Rams Pointe Apartments, but once their e-vite got on Facebook it took on a life of its own through social media.

“The power of Facebook was definitely shown at the last party because it was ridiculous how many people actually showed up,” said student Wayne Campbell, who lives at the apartment complex. “It was just pure chaos.”
