Lafayette79:Phi Epsilon Pi was a healthy Jewish National which was absorbed by Zeta Beta Tau.
Phi Epsilon Pi was more of a non-sectarian Fraternity in nature when it was founded in 1904 and Phi Sigma Delta started as a Jewish Fraternity in 1909, but went non-sectarian in 1947. Both were healthy Nationals to a point, however, they too had financial problems within their Fraternities in the late 1960's. This was why both Fratenities agreed to be absorbed by ZBT National in order to salvage both brotherhoods (morally and financially) and still remain involve with the NIC & Greek Community. That is why today, ZBT is more of a balanced brotherhood of Jewish and non-Jewish brothers.
This sad to hear this news regarding TEP. I know a few TEP brothers from UPenn. I hope they can find some resolution to their issues.
