SAE Chapter Kicked Off Campus

SAE Loses University Recognition

Washington University in St. Louis' chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon will no longer be recognized by the college, a report said.

After being on probation for about 18 months, the university chose to no longer affiliate itself with the fraternity.

"Once you're on probation and don't have a house, there's not a lot of latitude," a campus official told the university's student newspaper. "They made progress in some areas and regressed in other areas. The behavior actions were not acceptable or up to the standards of what we expect for Greek Chapters at Washington University in St. Louis."

Wash-St.Louis Beta Chapter Can't Fill House

Frats Fill Space, Betas Face Difficulties

Many frats at Washington University in St. Louis used to have a lot of problems attracting new members to fill their houses.

That thought has gone by the wayside, while young men are pledging campus frats, with not too many rooms going unfilled - That is, except for the rooms at the Beta Theta Pi house. University rules state that each house must be filled to at least 93 percent capacity by the end of March.

"Once [Beta's] leadership became aware that they wouldn't be able to meet their occupancy requirements, they really worked with Greek Life to talk about what some of the options were," said Ronald Laue, interim director of Greek Life. "We're still having those conversations."

The Beta house is one of the biggest on the campus, with 38 spots for brothers to call home during the academic year. It is unclear what will happen yet with the house for next year.

Restroom Pregnancy Tests?

Free Pregnancy Tests Offered on Campus

Ladies, it just got a lot cheaper to see if you got knocked up at the Washington University in St. Louis, and you can thank the sisters of Phi Lambda Psi. The free pregnancy test program was previously run by Women's Resource Center, but after it was closed Phi Lambda Psi stepped up and took over the program.

Apparently there was a pent-up demand for the test, about twenty, were used in the first five days.

The sisters are making sure everybody know where the free tests are, they have painted an overpass, sent out Facebook announcements, and are distributing flyers. Phi Lambda Psi is a honorary society committed to women's health issues.

The student body seems to support the free tests. When junior Julia Mancini was asked what she thought of the free tests, she said, "That's rad."
