These parents are afraid for the safety of their children. I can respect that. I think that there are problems with violence, alcohol, and drug use and abuse in colleges that extend beyond the greek system.

We know what greeklife has meant to us. I feel no need to defend myself, my sorority, or my decisions.

COLLEGE LIFE WITHOUT ATO, FOOTBALL AND TAILGATING .....

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Could have done without the ATO part personally :D

Haha, that could describe life at Boston University - none of the above.

We got by (although football would have been nice).

does bu even have a football team??

Could have done without the ATO part personally


NO COMMENT muwhahaha :D

Some of us were fortunate to be part of BU when there was a football team. My GLO (and our brother org, KKPsi) were in existence almost completely because of marching band at BU.

I will say though-- even when the team existed, there weren't tailgating parties, and with the exception of one season, you could have fit everyone attending a football team in Walter Brown with room to spare.

They did until the end of the 1995-1996 season. Then Silber decided to eliminate it.

When I first transferred to UPS, there was a SHOOTING on the street behind our house (as in one block off campus since I lived in a campus owned house) that was completely unrelated to the school or greek life or anything. I think parents should be more worried about stuff like that.

I agree. I remember there were a lot of rapes that took place in the town that had absolutely nothing to do with the Greeks/school. It was about a year after I left New Paltz but there was also a big shoot-out in town. All the students were actually stranded in the bars with the lights turned out so the shooters couldn't see in until like 8 in the morning or something like that. Being with my sisters was a positive thing because we travelled in packs anywhere we went so we always felt protected.

agreed.
