Excerpts from student paper's article:
Chi Psi fraternity is taking what it sees as a responsible step toward getting the house’s image back to what it should be — by getting a house dad.
The fraternity, also known as “The Lodge,” will have a live-in caretaker this week through the end of the academic school year, president Alexander Follmer said.
Jim Anberley is a 1982 graduate of the University of Minnesota and a former member of Chi Psi . . . He will be supervising and helping out with the chapter house.
“He will help us get back to where we need to be,” Follmer said.
Current members and alumni made the decision to have Anberley help make the transition with the new rules for fraternities . . . .
“We’re going back to what we used to be initially,” said Chi Psi member Garret Schultz. “We have strayed away from that the last six years.”
A female University student reported being sexually assaulted at the Chi Psi house late last month . . . . The case against Chi Psi was closed without charges.
. . . Chi Psi is on alcohol probation until March and will have to go through the Interfraternity Council to get off probation, Schultz said.
“We weren’t even aware of our turbulent past,” Schultz said. . . .
