Fate of historic frat house

The commission holds a public hearing on the application by the Kappa Chapter of Zeta Psi Corp. to demolish its fraternity house at 80 Professors Row near Tufts University, which was built by English professor William R. Shipman in 1868. The fraternity, the first Greek organization at Tufts, was disbanded by the university in 2021 after for “repeated and serious violations” of Covid guidelines, according to the Tufts Daily. A suspension several years earlier forced the fraternity to crowdsource more than $20,000 in owed property taxes and utilities and for repairs, maintenance and improvement while trying to emerge from two and a half years on probation. Tufts officials said the Covid violations were committed while the fraternity was still on probation. Watchable by videoconferencing.
