PSU forms Greek advisory group

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Penn State has developed an advisory group that includes students, faculty and university trustees to address issues within its Greek system following the February death of a pledge.

University President Eric Barron announced Monday the 17-member advisory group will provide input to the school’s Greek-life Response Team, which includes university administrators.

The group is the school’s latest step in taking control of the previously self-governing fraternities and sororities following the death of 19-year-old Timothy Piazza. Eighteen members of the now-shuttered Beta Theta Pi fraternity face charges in connection with Piazza’s death.
