To operate an official fraternity house in the City of Fullerton you must have a conditional use permit issued and approved by the city. This allows the fraternities to post letters on their house for the public to see, and allows for the house to be registered under the organization. These permits are issued only in neighborhoods zoned for student housing like Teri Pl/Frat Row. To abide to the conditions of the permits, the current fraternity houses must pass inspections by the Fire Marshall and to all zoning and noise laws etc. However, the City of Fullerton has INDEFINATELY SUSPENDED issuing these permits for fraternity houses years and years ago. There has been too many problems in the past with out of control fraternity houses, so the city no longer accepts applications for the conditional use permits for fraternities. The houses (Phi Tau, PiKapp, DChi & Phi Sig) that maintained their permits before the issuance was suspended many years ago have been able to keep these permits valid. That being said, PIKE can buy a house, most likely in a quiet, family residential neighborhood not zoned for student housing. But they won't be able to post letters on the outside of their house, have big parties or call it an OFFICIAL fraternity house, because they will NOT be able to get the permit that will allow them to do this legally. If they do those things, the city will shut them down and fine them generously.
