According to the 4/18/07 announcements from the Greek Life Office, Sigma Chi was on probation until the end of Spring semester.

I’m not there anymore, but I am assuming that after all the press coverage of the SAE incident, there must have been a major crackdown.

Last month, I was in Orlando as well, so I drove down Greek Row. I was SHOCKED. I’ve only been gone for 2 years. It was so sad to see the empty houses. I noticed that the Pike house still had random paint splotches on it from that Amanda Bynes movie they filmed there (how they could used that house as a movie set, I’ll never know!)

And adpiucf, I completely agree with your gopher tortoise sentiments!I hate those freaking things!

The exterior of the Pike house wasn't really used for Amanda's movie. Only the interior (which was fixed up a lil bit) was filmed...they used the exterior of a house kinda near where Briercliff & Osceola meet in Delaney Park (subdivision downtown south of 408) instead for the exterior shots of the sorority house.

Maybe it was peeling paint I saw? For all I know it could have been chunks of the house crumbling. There's no telling with that house!

Pi Kappa Phi is suspended until 2011 (I just read the online Central Florida Future). All of the current collegians were given alumni status. (Pi Kapp was not a housed fraternity on Greek Row at UCF).

I am so bummed. I was at their installation banquet-- they had such a strong colonization and were such a great group of guys when I was a student.

Wow... that is so sad. All the Pi Kapps I knew were great guys. Devastating.

How many fraternities are we going to lose? It seems like every time I turn around, another house has been suspended or had their charter pulled.

Was the suspension extended? According to the F&SL, 4/18/2007 Pi Kappa Phi was suspended until May 15, 2007.

And not just CFU fraternities have been suspended or on probation. Zeta Tau Alpha is on Restrictive Probation until the end of fall of 2007.

The Future (the school newspaper) reported the Pi Kapp suspension was thru 2011 and all of the members were given alumni status.

UCF sorority alumnae, are you thinking what I'm thinking? (I'm thinking... who's left to do homecoming?)

KSig, LXA and ATO are still large chapters.

But I've also heard that a lot of the fraternities that were considered small chapters when we were in school are now large chapters. Phi Delt, Beta, DU, Theta Chi and a few others have grown a lot.

Was the article in The Future after the FS&L report? Not saying that the article isn't correct, but it seems odd that Central Florida's Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life isn't up to date. And for what it is worth, they still have Pi Kappa Phi listed under IFC chapters. Granted, when you click on the chapter link it says PIKAPPUCF.COM WILL BE BACK SOON! And if you click on the star, it takes you the national website.


Question for Central Florida NPC folk. (Or anyone else, for that matter, who might know.) During recruitment, does Panhellenic (say in the recruitment guide) note which chapters are on probation and for how long? (type and reason too?) The reason I ask is that usually, most IFCs require a chapter on probation (usually some sort of social probation) to do so - i.e. make it known to potential pledges. And more often than not, it is published in the rush guide too.
