Even if recruitment resumes for the spring 2018 semester, Greek life will have missed out on a full year of welcoming new members.
Beta Theta Pi's Penn State chapter submitted a motion to the Common of Pleas last week for the return of two DVR boxes and video tapes that were taken by the State College Police Department during the investigation into Timothy Piazza's February 4 death.
An email from IFC President Dean Vetere to all current chapter presidents says the Panhellenic Council has changed its rules to allow sorority members to attend dry events at fraternity houses.
The program is not for profit and it's open to requests from anyone -- small businesses, individuals, or other organizations.
"We are focusing less on what we cannot do and more on what we can," Panhellenic Council President Amanda Saper said.
Though the Beta Theta Pi house is privately owned and on private property, Penn State is working with the alumni board (which owns the house) to offer these members on-campus housing for the remainder of the semester.
