The 116 pages of documents reportedly came from the “historical archives” of Swarthmore’s chapter of Phi Kappa Psi, which is not nationally affiliated, and contains meeting minutes and details of pledge tasks. “I absolutely condemn the language and actions described in the documents,” Swarthmore President Valerie Smith wrote Monday in a statement. On Saturday, a group of about 50 students “rushed in” to the Phi Kappa Psi house, and soon the group grew to more than 100 people, Goldberg said. “The sit-in was our way to say, ‘Actually, this space is ours.’ ”Swarthmore College students gather outside the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house during a sit-in. The 18-year-old said the sit-in had drawn campuswide support, with the exception of fraternity members.
