Greek rush returns at Chico State, with changes
By MELISSA DAUGHERTY - Staff Writer
Decades of traditions that were lost last year following the death of a pledge will be reborn this week in Chico's Greek community.
Spring rush begins today at Chico State University for fraternities, but it's a whole new game, say university officials.

Recruitment for sororities began last week. It was the first time in about a year that Chico State allowed such activity.
University President Paul Zingg prohibited it last semester in response to the hazing death of Matthew Carrington. The 21-year-old was pledging Chi Tau — a fraternity that lost its university affiliation in 2002 but continued to operate on its own.

"There was a fork in the road, and you went the Chi Tau way or you went the university way," he said. "And we didn't want to be disgraced like Chi Tau was."
