As of 9/21 all of the local service/social sororities at Penn State were no longer recognized by the university. NPC basically told all of the IFC fraternities that if they did THON, Homecoming, Greek Week, etc with these sororities that they would not be allowed to do weeklongs or have socials with any of the NPC sororites. The locals cried and complained about it and were obviously very upset with the situation. This happened just as Phi Mu was getting ready to restructure their chapter. Since TKP complained the most to panhellenic about becoming a national sorority (and apparently they had been interested in going national for quite some time), they met with Phi Mu nationals and the two sororities decided to come together as one. All of the officers of Phi Mu were stripped of their duties and the chapter is basically being treated as a colony. I have no idea about the other chapters of TKP.
Well, wouldn't you be upset if someone basically said your chapter is to be treated as if they have the plague? I don't think it is "Crying and complaining" as much as "wanting to be treated as equals because the second part of local sorority is still SORORITY."
