In the 1980’s, Theta Tau Pi was on top of the world, winning countless beer pong championships and partying with the coolest (read: wealthiest) people at Penn.

TSA Praises Van Pelt Library Security for Finding Innovative Ways to Annoy People in a Rush

(10/13/18 11:28pm)

Last night, Van Pelt Library was awarded its greatest honor to date. In a surprise announcement, head of the Transportation Security Administration David Shoosoff named Van Pelt the recipient of their prestigious “Keeping Americans Safe Award." “We at the TSA thought we had discovered every possible way to arbitrarily hinder travel from one destination to the next," Shoosoff said. "That’s our job. But one trip to the University of Pennsylvania’s famously-secure library changed all that." During a discreet visit to the library last weekend, Shoosoff marveled at the sight of dozens of students struggling to unzip their bags so that one pocket could hastily be checked for books or drugs or whatever. He called it “the greatest revolution in inconveniences since the USB-C.”
