RE: Parking/Traffic for Lehigh Lafayette
Weekend
This letter
contains important information regarding parking and traffic for the upcoming annual
Lehigh/Lafayette weekend. The following
procedures have been discussed and agreed upon by members of the Dean of
Students staff, the Interfraternity Council leadership, the Panhellenic Council
leadership, Parking Services, and University Police. Please take the time to review this letter
and discuss its contents with your members at your next scheduled chapter
meeting.
*Every
chapter will be issued parking passes for their alumni equivalent to the number
of parking spaces they are assigned at the start of the academic year. It is recommended that a minimum of ten (10)
spaces per chapter will be reserved for alumni.
Chapters have the option to make all of the parking spaces at the house
available to alumni.
*Parking
passes will be available to chapter presidents for distribution beginning Monday,
November 9th in the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs. Lost Lehigh/Lafayette parking passes will not
be replaced.
*Students
with valid parking permits that wish to move their vehicles to create space for
alumni must do so by Friday, November 20th at 5PM. Vehicles can be parked on Mountaintop Campus
or in any other University lot available for student parking. Vehicles parked in non-student designated
spots or parked in non-parking areas (e.g. on the grass or in the fire lanes)
risk being ticketed and/or towed.
*Students
with valid parking permits may move their vehicles from their
fraternity/sorority lots to the student commuter parking lot located on the
Mountaintop campus and in unreserved faculty/staff spaces. Vehicles
may not be parked in other residential parking lots as those residents will
have nowhere to park their own vehicles.
*Only vehicles
with a Lehigh/Lafayette hill pass will be admitted to Sayre Park roads (the
Hill) between 5PM Friday, November 20th through Sunday, November 22nd
at 5AM. Your regularly assigned parking
permit will not grant you access.
*As in years
past, the University Police have the authority to restrict access to Sayre Park
roads (the Hill) during Lehigh/Lafayette weekend if it is deemed that an unsafe
or hazardous environment exists. Vehicles
parked in the fire lanes or along the roadside will be towed at the owner’s
expense. Please monitor these illegal
parking areas and keep alumni from parking in these spots as well.
*Shuttles
will be available both on lower campus and on the Hill from 4-8PM on the day of
Lehigh/Lafayette game on Saturday, November 21st.
*We
suggest you inform alumni in advance receiving Lehigh/Lafayette parking passes
so they have time to request them and you have time to send them in advance of
the game. We also encourage that you
post this memo on your chapter’s website; share it with your alumni advisors;
and distribute it to your alumni accordingly.
*We
also suggest that you inform your alumni of any plans for social events around
the Lehigh/Lafayette game. Many alumni are not familiar with current
social policies.
*Please contact the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs regarding requests for mailing lists for your alumni. If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs at 610-758-4157.
