| NewsCampus Greek NewsPhi Delt house to be demolishedFrom the 7/27/10 issue of The Daily Collegian.The university's decision to convert the former Phi Delta Theta fraternity house into a "green space" has elicited disappointment from the greek community. Penn State bought the 243 N. Burrowes property for $1.75 million in May, after a legal dispute with the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. The fraternity was disbanded in 2007 for drinking violations.
