Good Afternoon All,
I hope you all have
been doing well over the past few days. We have some important
updates, so
please read carefully and pass along to all chapter members.
2. The protocol
for moving back in will be as follows:
Chapters must have at
least five residential members present on campus at the same
time between 2 – 6
p.m. today in order for your particular house to be re-opened.
Once this group
of 5 residents has been identified and they are present on
campus ALL FIVE
CHAPTER RESIDENTS MUST REPORT TO the Office of Fraternity and
Sorority Affairs
in the Garden Level of the University Center between the hours
of 2-6 pm today.
We will need one of those five residents to serve as the
official point of
contact for OFSA. IF YOU
HAVE MORE THAN
FIVE RESIDENTS MOVING BACK IN, DO NOT BRING ALL OF THEM TO THE
UC. WE ONLY NEED FIVE OF
YOUR RESIDENTS PRESENT
TO OPEN THE FACILITY. All
reporting
chapter members must be living in the chapter facility and be
able to present
identification in order for chapter facility doors to be opened
by Access
Control. Chapters not opening today can follow the same protocol
tomorrow
between the hours of 9-4 pm.
Once the GROUP OF five
RESIDENTS has been
identified and
verified in person by Lehigh staff in OFSA, remaining chapter
members may move
back in as they arrive to campus without notifying OFSA.
Lehigh staff and LUPD
will be conducting walk-thrus of all facilities on a regular
basis over the
next few days. IF YOUR OCCUPANCY FALLS BELOW FIVE AT ANY TIME
OVER THE NEXT FEW
DAYS, THOSE RESIDENTS WILL BE EVACUATED FROM THE HOUSE. WE MUST HAVE AT MINIMUN
FIVE RESIDENTS IN A
BUILDING TO KEEP IT OPEN FOR SAFETY PURPOSES. Chapter members
are expected to
keep keys and identification on them at all times.
3. MEALS: Dinner
this evening is available 4:30 – 6 pm
in Cort Dining Hall / UC for residents at no additional charge. Beginning tomorrow you may
need to be
prepared to make food chapter food arrangements or be charged
for meals eaten
on campus.
Chapter members must
present identification and inform Cort staff as to their
affiliation.
4. Due to the
nature of the storm, ABM staff have
removed
much of the perishable food left in chapter kitchens. In many
cases, frozen food has been left for your chef to make a more
informed
determination on. Please do not risk eating any perishable items
that may have
been left in chapter facilities, until your chef has assessed
the situation.
Please touch base
with your food service provider and chapter chef to discuss food
shipments in
anticipation of resuming regular meals in the chapter facilities
as soon as
possible. Please confirm
with your
Assistant Director once you have a status as to food shipments.
5. Lehigh staff have
locked off all chapter bedrooms in order to ensure security for
chapter
members. If chapter members return to campus without a key, they
may contact
Access Control at x83940 during business hours for a lockout.
Otherwise,
chapter members will have to wait until regular business hours,
or for the
House Manager to return.
6. Knowing the
chapter facilities were most likely left in a hurry, we expect
that effort is
made upon your moving back in to clean up the facilities and
restore them to a
condition expected by the Offices of Fraternity and Sorority
Affairs and
Residential Services.
7. Please
continue to remind chapter members about following PA State,
Lehigh and
Inter/National Headquarters laws and policies regarding conduct
in the
facility. Our expectation is that chapter members will continue
to display a
conduct that we expect from them, especially as the campus moves
forward over
the next few days.
Thank you all for
your continued cooperation over the past few days. We will keep
you all in the
loop as more information comes. If you have further questions,
please call your
Assistant Director or the Emergency Line at 610-758-1000.
Thank
you,
Tim
Wilkinson
