How Penn State Greek Reforms Have Impacted State College Neighbors
New measures put in place to curb dangerous activities in Greek life at Penn State have, in part, led to a calmer and quieter existence in the Highlands neighborhood, where most fraternity houses are located.
"Penn State's recent reforms with respect to Greek life have helped improve the quality of life in our neighborhoods in an immense and meaningful way," Mayor Don Hahn said in a statement. "I am appreciative of the Penn State administration, especially President Eric Barron and Vice President for Student Affairs Damon Sims, for seeing the need to and following through on the commitment to change the Greek system for the better. I look forward to continuing to work with Penn State, its fraternities, its students and alumni, and our community members to continue to make positive strides forward for both Penn State and State College."

President in 1985, Steve Stoicovy '84, made this comment in the 1985 edition of La Vie. Undoubtedly, this is still a true characterization of Chi Phi. We hope you'll take this trip back in time with us, and remember why Chi Phi did then, and still does stick out in your mind as a unique college experience for young men which molds them into leaders and successful individuals of society. Our young men still participate in philanthropic activities that engae them with the university and the community, and our Alumni certainly don't forget about the men, as they continue to support Alpha Delta with contributions to our annual fund.
