I'm not saying that to brag, it's the truth sadly.
They squashed frat row because they felt it gave off an extremely negative image just driving into campus. One of the frat houses has gone to a MCGLO. It went from LXA (a long time ago) to a local (Omega Delta), to ZBT (who had major violations and legal trouble) to a MC sorority (Zeta Psi). It's on the left side of the street so they didn't squish it.
I checked the website, it looks like they've got no houses and are just meeting somewhere in the Student Union.

That's kinda sad. I always liked driving through frat row onto campus. For complete lack of a better phrase, I always thought it looked so college-y.

So there's Zeta Psi, the MC sorority and Zeta Psi, the NIC fraternity? Sounds confusing, unless ZPsi the fraternity is gone now. I think I know that house though, when I was in school it was LXA (corner of Fearing?)--although I'm not ready to consider that a long time ago yet!

Anyway, given all that it does sound like UMass could use someone like this!

Yup, that's the house. ZBT had it less than a year before they screwed up.

That's the entire list of recognized GLOs on-campus. AEPhi never had a house but as you can see, most of the fraternities lost theirs. My boyf, the huge suckup that he is (not really) worked for the Vice Chancellor and got to know him so I got secondhand knowledge about his hatred for the greeks.

...on the collegian...but to each their own.

From what I remember, and 2004 was my last year at PSU, Greek Life was kinda in a tailspin with lack of leadership in the office of Greek Life.

A little tough love is what Greek Life in PSU needs.

Just hope he knows how to compromise with the Undergrad primadonnas in some of the chapters.

It's the Collegian, they don't quite understand the idea of editing and using a thesarus.

I left in 2006. I haven't really got in contact with the greeks I know were up there last school year but during my time at PSU, things usually went from being off the wall crazy to just plain crazy when it came to the IFC greeks.

When I was there (2000-2004) the leadership in the Greek Life office was definitely lacking. There was a lot of hypocrisy and we could have used a strong leader to back us with the administration. I'm glad to see there are (hopefully) positive changes being made to the system.
