The school's Interfraternity Council says the new policy is aimed at keeping new recruits safe.
The policy says that during the recruitment process chapters may hold alcohol-free recruitment events during specified times.
Chapters will be allowed to host one last recruitment event on Feb. 8; bids will be extended Feb. 9 and must be accepted by Feb. 11.
The fine for violating the alcohol-free rule is $1,000 per event.
State College police say they are pleased with the move. Capt. Dana Leonard says it's a step in the right direction.
