Student life




Lilley Library, Penn State Erie



Student organizations


Some of the larger organizations at Penn State Behrend include the Lion Entertainment Board (LEB), the Student Government Association (SGA), the Interfraternity Council (IFC), the Multi-Cultural Council (MCC), and the school newspaper, the Behrend Beacon.


The Lion Entertainment Board is responsible for bringing entertainment to Behrend's student population. There are weekly performances by bands and comedians, and other shows.


The Multi-Cultural Council (MCC) organizes many groups to promote a multi-cultural environment, unity, and cooperation between groups at Behrend. The MCC is prominently located as a student organization in the Reed Union Building, and coordinates celebration of many different events, such as Martin Luther King Week, Hispanic History Month, and Black History Month.[6]



The Behrend Beacon


The Behrend Beacon releases their weekly print newspaper every Tuesday during the academic school year (with the exception of a Tuesday that may fall during a seasonal break). The primary goal of the Beacon is to be an objective source of local, global, and, most importantly, campus news.


The student-run newspaper has a staff made up of multiple positions, beneath the supervision of the editor-in-chief. To become editor-in-chief, a student must apply and undergo a series of interviews. Any conflict of interest, such as involvement in certain student-run clubs or organizations, may disqualify a student from becoming editor-in-chief. Examples may include being a member of the Student Government Association (SGA) or working as a Resident Assistant (RA). The editor-in-chief appoints a managing editor and creative director, and also assembles a team of editors assigned to each section of the paper (news, business and technology, science, lifestyles, arts and entertainment, opinion, and sports). The Beacon is more than just a print newspaper; there are also positions for digital distribution, including website manager, multimedia director, and social media director.


Any Behrend student can be a part of the Beacon in some way. There is no limit to the number of writers or photographers allowed to join the team.



BVZ Radio


The campus is also home to BVZ Radio ("The Voice Of Behrend"), an online streaming radio station.
The station officially launched on 11/11/11 and is managed by a student management team. The current student Station Manager is Nicholas Crandall.


BVZ offers a wide variety of music formats including classic rock, pop, metal, hip-hop, classical, dance, and country. All show programming is produced by students. BVZ often broadcasts live events on the Behrend campus and in the Erie area.



Greek Organizations


Behrend has a Greek life system. There are four campus recognized social fraternities: Delta Chi, Kappa Delta Rho, Sigma Tau Gamma, and Triangle. There are four campus recognized social sororities: Alpha Sigma Alpha, Alpha Sigma Tau, Theta Phi Alpha, and Phi Sigma Rho.[7] There is one campus recognized professional fraternity: Delta Sigma Pi. Gamma Sigma Sigma, a national service sorority, and Alpha Phi Omega, a national co-ed service fraternity, are also recognized on campus.[8]



On-campus living


Residence Halls are named after individuals and ships who fought for the American side in the Battle of Lake Erie. Most Behrend freshmen live in Lawrence, Niagara or Perry Halls. Some students live in Senat Hall, which is reserved for upperclassmen. Honors students live in Ohio Hall and Almy Hall.[9] In 2018 the campus saw the addition of the newest building, Trippe Hall. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors often opt to live in 8 person/4 bedroom suites in Tiffany, Tigress, and Porcupine Halls.


On-campus apartments are also available at the Behrend Apartments, located in the upper section of the main campus area. These apartment buildings include Ariel Hall, Caledonia Hall, Champlin Hall, Elliott Hall, Packet Hall, Scorpion Hall, Somers Hall, Turner Hall, and Yarnall Hall.[10]



On-campus dining


There are six on-campus dining facilities:



  • Dobbins Dining is the campus's main dining hall, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as daily specials.

  • Bruno's Café is an on-campus café where students can get all types of food and drinks for dine-in or to-go. It is located in the Reed Union Building and has wireless internet access for students. There is often live entertainment on weekends.

  • Paw's coffee shop offers coffee drinks, pastries, treats, and Penn State Berkey Creamery ice cream.

  • The Galley is a small convenience store, where students can buy packaged food items and other necessities.

  • Clark Café offers a variety of sandwiches, wraps, salads, and drinks. Clark also provides students with wireless internet access.
