Campus & Community

Both fraternities and sororities have played a significant role in student life at Penn for more than 150 years. Fraternities established chapters at Penn’s first campus in Center City Philadelphia, beginning in 1849. The motto of Psi Upsilon, one of the first Greek organizations at Penn, was: “To us has befallen a mighty friendship.”

If you find yourself on campus on any given Saturday and you’re craving a bite to eat, head over to Houston Hall for brunch. Every Saturday from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m., Houston Market now offers a wide selection of culinary options, all prepared from scratch, using fresh local foods.

From April 9 until April 20, Penn employees will have a chance to make changes in their health benefit choices.

Juniors Chris Cruz and Elizabeth Cutler, along with sophomores Alex Rattery, Madison Roberts, and Jenny Xia have joined together to form PennCycle, a program designed to make it easier for the Penn community to get around on bikes.

Cynthia Otto, an associate professor in the School of Veterinary Medicine and director of Penn Vet’s Working Dog Center, wasn’t expecting the special package that was delivered to her office on a Tuesday morning in February.
