Officials: Beta can reinstate in 10 years
Restrictions for Beta Theta Pi fraternity's return to campus were discussed at a university hearing Monday.
Beta can apply for reinstatement in 10 years, given its nationals approves the bid, said John Smeaton, vice provost for student affairs.
Lehigh will also need to be in an expansionary period, Smeaton said, in order to take in another fraternity.
Termination was a consideration given the circumstances, Smeaton said.
The hearing resulted from incidents that occurred during a pledging event over a month ago at Beta.
Two freshmen were taken to the hospital after drinking near-lethal amounts of alcohol.

And this is a rather interesting blog in the campus paper:

Commentary and discussion with The Brown and White’s top editors and writers.

Is The Brown and White anti-Greek?
At a school with about 40 percent of undergraduates involved in Greek life, The Brown and White frequently covers what’s going on in sororities and fraternities. Sometimes we cover stories that reflect the
positive aspects (link) of Greek life, such as philanthropic events or fund raisers. Other times we cover stories that reflect the negative aspects of Greek life, such as the high-risk drinking that led to a student being sent to a hospital with
a .505 BAC (link).
Speaking as an editor with experience as both the news editor and the editorial pages editor, I don’t think the paper is anti-Greek.
