Phi Delt house to be demolished

From the 7/27/10 issue of The Daily Collegian.

The university's decision to convert the former Phi Delta Theta fraternity house into a "green space" has elicited disappointment from the greek community.

Penn State bought the 243 N. Burrowes property for $1.75 million in May, after a legal dispute with the Phi Delta Theta fraternity.

The fraternity was disbanded in 2007 for drinking violations.

The decision was made to turn the property into a "green space" -- complete with sidewalks and benches, university spokeswoman Annemarie Mountz said.

The demolition process began Monday evening (7/26), when contractors put up fencing around the construction area, Mountz said.

What's YOUR Story?

Wouldn’t it be great if someone could make a movie about our Tau Kappa Epsilon experience? Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately, for some) the cameras weren’t rolling during our days at PSU. The experience we shared can only live on through our memories, stories and photos.

While we all shared the same great experience, we each have our own unique stories to tell from it. And we need your help to document them! Tell us a great story or two that you fondly remember from your undergraduate days. We’ll feature the best stories on our web site and in future print publications.

For example...

"I joined TKE because I was looking for a way to make the university smaller and wanted a dry fraternity.
 
I felt most proud of TKE when we won our fourth straight IFC sing (amid a consective streak of 10 in the Fifties).
 
The best TKE experience I have had as an alumn is observing the amazing work the State College alums have done in the past four years to bring the chapter back from disaster.  (This may replace the item above as my most proud moment)."
 
There is no going back.
