==Suspension== In the early 1980s, house culture had developed from being a gentleman’s house, as it was at its founding, to one more focused on partying and other antics. By this point, the house had strong ties to the RPI Basketball team and had gained a reputation of hosting outrageous parties. Many events and problems in the culture led to the house’s shutdown. One major activity that resulted in the school kicking Theta from campus was an activity known as the “Tube Toss”. This was a very boisterous activity in which tube TVs and other objects would be thrown from the second floor of the annex onto the lawn, resulting in them exploding upon hitting the ground. The Tube Toss, along with other such activities and culture issues, resulted in a ten-year suspension from the school. During the suspension, the Pi Beta Phi sorority occupied the house. In order to prevent both properties from being seized by the school or the City of Troy, the Theta Housing Corporation pursued legal actions to continue holding the property and rent it to Pi Beta Phi. This prevented the property from being reclaimed by the school and also from the City of Troy by helping it meet certain zoning requirements.
