A guide to going Greek at OSU Kalynn Schwandt Staff Reporter As a new college student, Greek Life is a way to get involved at Oklahoma State University. Within a Greek chapter, there are opportunities that can enhance leadership abilities, friendship, academics and community involvement. At OSU, there are around 45 chapters within four governing councils. These councils include the Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic Council, Multicultural Greek Council and National Pan-Hellenic Council. The Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Council participate in recruitment processes in which potential new members can join chapters before fall semester at OSU. The Multicultural Greek Council and National Pan-Hellenic Council both participate in intake processes that begin following the fall semester and typically require college credit prior to joining chapters. “For MGC and NPC, their intake process could happen either semester,” Casey DomParticipating in Greek Life at OSU is a great way to get involved on campus.

Service The number of officers who have died by suicide in wake of their response to the January insurrection at the U.S. Capitol doubled late Monday, with the Metropolitan Police Department in the District of Columbia confirming the death of a third and fourth officer. Officer Kyle DeFreytag, a 26-year-old Pennsylvania native, was found dead on July 10. He served in the city’s 5th District and was tasked with enforcing a curfew implemented the night of Jan. 6, after a mob made up of pro-Trump protesters breached the U.S. Capitol in a bid to block the certification of President Joe Biden’s electoral win. “I am writing to share tragic news that Officer Kyle DeFreytag of the 5th District was found deceased last evening,” Chief Robert Contee III wrote in a mid-July message obtained by WUSA. “This is incredibly hard news for us all, and for those that knew him best.” See Insurrection on pg.2
