OT: PSU fraternity system on the ropes. Down to 36 chapters from 54 not long ago. Houses being suspended and shut down by the University.

[LealandLoyal]

University spies all over downtown looking for girls - GIRLS! - entering fraternity houses, then they call the cops alleging the frat is violating the Borough's COVID ordinance. Meanwhile, non-Greek apartment and house parties abound in State College. Fraternities can't get guys to live in their houses because in apartments they can have fun and party with little supervision. In the fraternity house, it needs to now be like a monastery. After over a hundred years, severe risk that there will be no fraternities at Penn State within a couple years. Sad.

Greek system is in decline all over. Yet another “tradition” that younger generations don’t appear to be all too interested in.

“Severe risk”? I’d bet more mortgage on there being more than 0 fraternities in a “couple of years”.

Should anyone be surprised with all the negative publicity they have been getting the past 10 years?? Gone are the days getting FR girls drunk and taking advantage of them, or abusing/hazing pledges.

This is about commercial real estate, not greek kids.

 

[TheGLOV]

I'm a Greek!

Who knew??

 

[MtNittany]

My old house comes w/ a double lot. Imagine how many condos they could build here!

 

[Pardlion]

There’s a whole cottage industry of snowflake deans and assistant deans hired to gun them down.

Do you know Mr. Ron Police?

 

[MtNittany]

Do you know Mr. Ron Police?

Yep. His signature is on my paddle. I know his brother Bo too.

 

[TheGLOV]

Yep. Bo too.

I went to grade school and high school with Ronnie.

Great guy. Very nice person IMO.

[MtNittany]

I went to grade school and high school with Ronnie.

Great guy. Very nice person IMO.

He was a bit older. Bo was a bit younger and softer. I was in the middle of them. He seemed like a smart, yet hard scrabbled guy. Not a guy you wanted to **** with for sure.

 

[Lion Son/Husband/Father]

Do you know pretty Mike from york Pa he rocked a fiat spider with no brakes 82-86?

 

[91Joe95]

Buying opportunity.

 

[nits74]

Even some once prominent sororities are gone. Chi Omega, Tri Delta to name a couple.

Ronnie always was mentally & physically strong.

Great characteristics IMO.

Again, very nice person.

 

[TheGLOV]

I wrestled him in his living room back in 8th grade.

Good times!

He won!!!

 

[MtNittany]

Hickey was our neighbor and we would have pledges mow his lawn for keg discounts. At the peak, I would say 20 kegs/week. Good times for sure.

You pot-head you!

 

[Cletus11]

yeah, would not be surprised within 5 years they are gone. Unless the new President doesn't literally have it as part of his goal like Barron and Hot Rod before him, with a target on their back they don't stand a chance.

What year were you? I might have been your next door neighbor

 

[MtNittany]

Do you know pretty Mike from york Pa he rocked a fiat spider with no brakes 82-86?

Yep! Mike Murphy. Not my favorite guy, but we got along ok. I guess.

We used to play Bong Monopoly right in one of the club rooms. Bong hit for passing Go. Bong hit for buying a property, etc. Mike wasn't a big fan.

[MtNittany]

No. Mike Murphy from York - he was a pledge brother of mine. We actually stayed at his house one night on our pledge bolt.

 

[MtNittany]

SAE (corner of Beaver and Pugh) lost their house and a sorority has taken it over. I just heard that SAE has either purchased or leased the Beta house (Yes, that Beta house).

 

[TheGLOV]

I'll bet! Seemed quiet to me, but smart and ready for anything.

Did you know that Ronnie tried out for the Nittany Lion mascot position?

Story goes he finished 2nd to Norm Constantine back then.

2nd hand info told me "they" the judges were concerned about Ronnie's height or lack there of sir.

He did best all others I was told in the push-up competition.
