Suspended LSU fraternity ignoring ban, secures off-campus house

Suspended LSU fraternity ignoring ban, secures off-campus manor despite threats from university

LINK
A fraternity that is temporarily banned from operating on LSU's campus over hazing allegations is planning to move into a spacious home located just minutes from the university, flagrantly disregarding warnings from the school.

LSU suspended Phi Kappa Psi in 2020 after the school investigated multiple reported instances of hazing at the fraternity. Some of the allegations involved a student who was hospitalized with alcohol poisoning and a reported suicide that happened in the days after that incident.

Despite Phi Kappa Psi's suspension staying in effect through at least May 2025, the fraternity is now reportedly renting the property near the corner of Highland Road and Lee Drive, with the intent of housing its members there.

Neighbors around the area are concerned with how this will impact small businesses in the area, even though they understand that the property owner needs to make money.

Who would rent a house to a fraternity? How do you possibly insure something like that?

Will probably increase. Why is residential worried about commercial?

Good for them. I have zero skin in the game for Greek life and the way LSU has treated fraternities in the last few years is a joke.

What used to be in this property (Highland at Lee)? I found a video. The interior is bizarre but interesting.

It was a Berkshire Hathaway real estate office and an antique store i think? I have lived right down the street for pretty much my entire life and have never been inside that building

Neighbors are always concerned but don’t realize alternatives if they put their foot down.

Friends of mine had their mom remarry and want to expand their house. Neighbors raised holy hell and blocked it because it would be too close to the road.

So mom and new hubby buy their own house and all three kids, who are at LSU, take the existing house and decorate it in LSU colors while living there. The neighbors didn’t like that but it was within the neighborhood covenants.

Good for them. They are doing everything legally. Neighbors are worried about small businesses??? How about you let them move in and actually wait and see how they are before you judge them? If they break laws/ordinances, then enforce them. Until then, they aren't doing anything wrong.

I imagine there are some kind of zoning laws that prevent that many unrelated people from living together in one house, but I could be wrong

That was the supposed reason behind the sorority dorm at my college…

Apparently more than X unrelated women in a household was considered a brothel.


Probably bull shite but certainly a story spread decades after the fact to explain why they didn’t have houses.

Alcohol poisoning was an average weekend for people I went to HS with.
