SORORITY SHOTS DU'JOUR

San Diego State Students Stay Classy by Planning 2nd Undie Run

SDSU Official Undie RunOne run through campus wearing nothing but the bare minimum to not be considered naked isn't enough for the students of San Diego State University. They're planning a second for finals week to help relieve the stress of postponing partying for homework and relive the excitement of being half naked with their peers.

Students are planning to gather just before midnight on Wednesday, May 9, to commence the second edition of the SDSU Undie Run. Student last ran in just boxers, bras and panties prior to the campus' hiatus for Spring Break.

"Why Run?," the event's Facebook group says, "Because running down Montezuma Avenue wearing just boxers and/or a bra is a defiant statement against social norms and the administrators who would rather you do something else."

"It's about rebelling against the system that gave you an 8 a.m. Final Thursday morning. It's about feeling totally free and living the college lifestyle. Drop your pants, rip off your shirts, DONATE THEM and join the fun in the Underwear Run!"

Students can donate the clothes they wear before running to charity for the needy people of the city named for a whale's vagina.

Mizzou Sorority for Girls Who Like Girls

Heterosexism. Sexism. Racism.

With Delta Lambda Phi, the national gay men's fraternity establishing itself at campuses nationwide, there was bound to be organization for homosexual women.

Enter Gamma Rho Lambda, a national sorority committed to gays, people who are bisexual or transgender, and promoting a progressive attitude toward lesbianism.

The sorority's newest colony is located at University of Missouri, and was establish three months ago.

GRL member Tracy Johnson, pictured right in the black t-shirt, said she believes traditional sororities and fraternities promote a “false dichotomy of male and female.” Johnson expanded the topic further.

“Their structure seems often driven by the image of the typical ‘sorority girl,’ and that fits for some people, but it’s creating a lie about how gender works. We’re hoping to defy those customs.”

The colony has gotten off to a strong start, and seems poised to be initiated by the national office, after only a few months of existence - which is much faster than a typical fraternity colonization period.

The sorority has been very active on campus during the colonization period, participating in the "Break the Silence" demonstration pictured a right. It also has plans for many other queer events, such as drag shows.

However, the Mizzou campus is not a naturally fertile ground for an alternative lifestyle organization, according to some members.

“We want to compel ourselves to say that MU is an accepting place,” said Ashley Price, co-founding father of the colony, “but really, mid-Missouri is not the most actively open environment for the LGBT group.”

PSU Phi Delts Trying to 'Return to Glory'

Fraternity Raises Funds for 'Glory'

Phi Delta Theta's chapter at Penn State University began a project called "Return to Glory" three years ago in a process to revitalize the fraternity's status on campus and celebrated their progress so far recently with many of their alumni.

Three years ago, what was then left of their alumni chapter wanted to sell their house, but active brother refused to let it happen. They began the "Return to Glory" campaign, which they said would be a five year process.

This past weekend, more than 100 alumni returned to the house for an update on the fraternity's status. The brothers now face less than half of the $30,000 deficit they concurred three years ago.

"The goal [of the "Return to Glory" campaign is] to make Phi Delta Theta the best fraternity in the best house on the best property," Dave Dunn, the frat's president said.

Delta Sigma Phi's Actions are Inconsiderate

In a letter to the editor of the University of Oregon's student newspaper, the brothers of Delta Sigma Phi fraternity were accused by the lovely ladies of Kappa Delta sorority as lacking a sufficient amount of support at the recent event, "Take Back the Night."

"We don't care if you didn't know Take Back The Night was occurring. Is this routine behavior for Delta Sigma Phi? Do you regularly embarrass yourselves by running through campus half naked with a Delta Sig flag?," the sisters wrote in the letter.

"The community gets one message," they continued writing, "Fraternity men do not support sexual assault awareness or survivors." The girls asked for the frat to send written letters of apology to

"The next time you choose to masquerade around campus wearing only spandex underwear and 'proudly' flapping a flag emblazoned with the Delta Sigma Phi's name, don't think we'll ever support you," the sisters concluded.

Northwestern Kappa Alpha Psi Chapter Celebrates 90 Years

Fraternity Celebrates 90 Years

Kappa Alpha Psi celebrated its 90th anniversary at Northwestern University this weekend. The fraternity was established April 21, 1917.

While the fraternity was established in 1917, it owes its existence today to alumni Dan Davis, a 1969 graduate.

When Davis was a freshmen, the Northwestern University chapter had just closed its doors. Recruitment was low, as there were very few black men enrolled at NU at the time.

Davis took it upon himself to restart the chapter, and pledged the Alpha Rho chapter, also based in Chicago. When he arrived on NU Campus he recruited 12 new members, saving the Theta chapter of the historically black fraternity.

To help raise money for a brother's father who was fighting cancer, Stephen F. Austin State University's chapter of Phi Kappa Psi decided to starve themselves for 48 hours.

The brothers decided to fast for two days for Morgan Sheppard, who recently found out his father had the deadly disease.

"It kinda shocked me. I was sitting outside the ICU with my dad when he got our of surgery when our Vice President called, and said he and the brothers were getting together to do this benefit. I really touched me. I broke down in tears," said Sheppard.

Pitt-Johnstown Students Say They Were Mistreated by Police at Party

The Frat Boy News daily campus police report for Tuesday:

University of Pittsburgh - Johnstown Campus
(compiled by WJAC-TV)
A backyard party at the University of Pittsburgh Johnstown campus on Saturday has escalated into a battle between students and campus police.

UPJ Police Chief Kevin Grady said what students deemed a backyard barbecue was a drinking party gone bad. Police said they responded to the Woodland Townhouse home around midnight after a complaint of loud music. When officials arrived, they said they found students drinking, listening to music and cooking food over a large fire in a grill.

Police said they asked the students to put out the fire and quiet down. They also told student Chase Wanner, 22, to get in the house because he was drunk, police said. The students contend they were never told to put the fire out and Wanner said he didn’t know how long he had to stay inside because it wasn’t his house.

When campus police returned later, they arrested Wanner, who was outside, on charges of public drunkenness and disorderly conduct. Other students became upset and asked for the officers’ badge numbers. The students said they intended to report the officers for police brutality. At that time, officials said the altercation escalated.

Wanner said, “As we proceeded outside they said that my friends were blocking my path to the police car. My friend was pepper sprayed, the other was taken to the ground simply for asking what the ordeal was over.”

Grady said, “A lot of times when people are drinking some of their observations aren't on target and in this case, I’ve been here a long time and they're campus officers and they really used good judgment.”

In addition to Wanner, three other students were arrested: Luke Schmitmeyer, Cole Beehner and Randall Howe face several charged including rioting, which is a felony. All three were released from the Cambria County prison Monday after posting 10 percent of their $250,000 bond.Police said the four men and some students who got involved in the altercation with police could face more charges.
