Swarthmore College has banned Greek life after leaked documents showed one fraternity joked about sexual assault, made anti-LGBTQ remarks and ...

Earlier this month, Phi Psi and Delta Upsilon, the one two fraternities on the college, each voluntarily disbanded shortly after Phi Psi’s leaked paperwork emerged. The damning 116 pages labeled “minute conferences” have been written between 2013 and 2016 and got anonymously to 2 campus publications ― The Phoenix and Voices. Based on The Phoenix, the paperwork “are secondhand recaps of Phi Psi members’ actions.”

UCF frat forced pledges to drink ‘handle of liquor,’ found in violation of hazing

UCF’s Delta Upsilon fraternity was found in violation of five different hazing violations and alcohol-related misconduct on Nov. 25.

On Aug. 14, a call was made to UCF’s anti-hazing hotline by a Delta Upsilon fraternity pledge’s mother to report that her son, along with five other pledges, were forced to complete certain activities — like drinking a handle of liquor — and video themselves doing it as proof of completion, according to an incident report. The mother, who stated in the report that both she and her son wish to remain anonymous, said the only member of the fraternity present at the time was the individual known as a “pledgemaster.”

Editorial: A cocaine party and loose discipline should create worry at KU

This little detail will wake you up if you are the parent of a fraternity member at the University of Kansas. The Delta Upsilon fraternity in 2017 had enough cocaine at its spring break house that it was drawing the Greek letters of the fraternity in the illegal drug. The next part probably won’t help […]

Alternative Families

The end of a school year is always sad for me. There’s something very depressing about an empty dorm room and spaces that are usually loud being silent. But of course, this year is particularly sad because I graduated. In my time at Bucknell, I’ve been a kind of social butterfly, without a solid crew or squad, as they call it. But in spite of that, I’ve found a few groups which have become like families.

The first is my brother’s fraternity, Delta Upsilon. I met the brothers when I was a high school sophomore, and they were one of the most welcoming groups of people I’d ever met. Over the course of my first three years here, their house became a home for me, a safe haven when I was stressed and emotional. Pretty soon, I was spending every weekend and some afternoons during the week at DU, doing homework, watching movies, playing games, drinking (obviously), and just generally destressing. I never worried about the brothers judging me or thinking less of me. They were my family, whether they knew it or not, and this past year without them has been incredibly tough.

The second is my ultimate frisbee team, the Peacefrogs. Though we’ve had our share of hard times, recruitment-wise, the team we’ve brought together this semester has been incredible. They’re so supportive, caring, and fun to be with. When I was sick, they all pitched in to make me feel better, and that might have been the most helpful thing of all.

The third is the physics department. Every professor there genuinely cared about me, and without their continued encouragement, I wouldn’t be where I am today.

The fourth is Intervarsity Christian Fellowship. I’ve always found that a community of faith is the best family you can ask for, and IV has been no different. No matter how long I’ve been away, I always feel this sense of belonging and acceptance when I come back.

These groups have been crucial to my success at Bucknell, and I am so thankful to each and every person for all they’ve done for me.
