There are news rules for students in the Greek system at Texas State University. School leaders have decided to insist on a change after the death of a fraternity pledge last Fall.
Since the death of Matthew Ellis, students said the mood has changed on campus.
"People really don't party that much on campus anymore," one student said.
Ellis, 20, was found dead in an off-campus apartment after attending a fraternity party.According to an autopsy, he had a high level of alcohol in his system.
Texas State Freshman Tatum Kosira said the number of parties in a week has actually gone down.
"It is like no parties Friday's, only Saturday's and it is only a few. Like it is a very small invite list," she said.
After the student's death, the school shut down all Greek activities on campus to undergo a review. At the beginning of this semester, a campus task force rolled out new rules.
Some of the big changes include:
*At least 75 percent of each chapter's members must attend a training session prior to any social event, date function, or tailgate.
*No registered social events with alcohol will be allowed for any fraternity or sorority not already on social probation until September.
*Registered social events will be based on the chapter's grade point average from the previous semester.
*New members must have a GPA of at least 2.7.
*And no social event with alcohol may exceed 400 attendees or the venue fire code.
A report card will be posted on the Greek Affairs website, where you can find the full list of changes.
Other schools nationwide are already on board with similar changes. Penn State and Florida State have recently reformed its Greek life on its campuses.
