Underage Drinking, etc. at Greek Presidents' Retreat (Penn)

The campus paper at Penn (U of Pennsylvania) reports on charges alleging underage drinking, etc. at a retreat for fraternity and sorority presidents.


http://media.www.dailypennsylvanian....-3630983.shtml

Excerpts:

A fraternity and sorority event was interrupted the weekend of Feb. 7, when students at a meeting of Greek chapter presidents in the Philadelphia suburbs received citations for charges relating to underage drinking and other alcohol-related offenses.

The meeting was held at the Fellowship Farm camp in New Hanover, a small township in Montgomery County about an hour outside of the city. Police were called in the night of Feb. 7 or the morning of Feb. 8.

The students involved have also been referred to the Office of Student Conduct, and Penn is contacting the national chapters of the fraternities and sororities involved, according to Scott Reikofski, director of the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs. . . .


Comment: Oh great. IF the allegations are true, this doesn't help with attempts to convince the world that Greeks aren't "all about partying" and so forth. I hope there'll be a satisfactory outcome and that the reputation of Penn Greeks isn't damaged too badly.

When traveling on a University-sponsored trip, one would hope that they would be smarter about their actions...

Unfortunately, if this information is true, it won't change the reputation of Penn Greeks at all. It will fit right in.

Not sure if this has happened at Penn before, but I recall this one.

Murray State officials place 4 fraternities on social probation

I bolded this comment in the other thread regarding the social suspension being lifted.
