Pi Kappa Phi is returning to Oregon State

Abstract:
The big white mansion on Northwest 21st Street and Northwest Harrison Boulevard, known for its well-lit room full of paddles, has been in hibernation for some time and is just now beginning to wake up.

Pi Kappa Phi is returning as an active OSU fraternity this spring, as leadership consultants Jake Henderson, Michael Larsson and Walt Pape recruit founding fathers for the fraternity's reinstatement....

Its Pi Kappa Phi, not PHI Kappa Phi as written on the front page. You really should work on spelling things right, cause thats pretty pathetic, and VERY DISRESPECTFUL!!!

This paper does not seem to place any importance on accuracy, clarity or spelling/ grammar. As an OSU student, I find this sad and embarrassing. Can't we strive to do better than this? The errors are numerous (and daily) and they need to stop. Please put more effort into your work. PLEASE.

Hurray. I have many fond memories of the Pi Kap's. When I was at OSU they were a wonderful group of young men who strived towards high academic achievement and community service. I am thrilled to see IFC expanding. Greek life is a wonderful experience.

I am a proud Alpha Delta Pi member. Our house was 350 NW 23rd. Adpi's closed in the mid 1990's and later sold that house. Around that time there were other houses that closed due to a variety of reasons, mostly due to low numbers in recruitement. Perhaps this will be the first step in growing back the Greek system to where it once was.

Aside from the headline misspelling, which is hardly the writer's fault, I'd like to just point out that this article reads like a front page advertisement for Pi Kappa Phi. If you're going to write a story, why don't you actually do some reporting? Did you know that Pi Kappa Phi was recolonized just five years ago, and closed only two years ago? Why not find out the reasons behind that? Did you know that their last founding father class had over 50 men in it? How can such a large group disband in such a short amount of time, and why is the national organization spending so much money to recolonize them yet again after such a big flop? These are all questions that I would have liked hearing about. While I think their associate member training is a big thing people should know about, I would rather know some of the more substantial stuff ... but then that's just a reader's opinion.
