I think this is a misperception which is perpetuated by a comment on many Greek websites that Greeks donate more than others.

Unfortunately, there are two ways to interpret that comment.

While it is true in most schools that donations from Greeks tend to be higher percentage-wise than from non-Greeks, fraternity and sorority members are a minority, so the actual real amount in dollars from Greeks is much smaller.

Also, I believe that Greeks are more likely to donate than their independent classmates.

That may be a misperception at schools with a low percentage of greeks, but F&M, I believe, is over 40% greek.

Sadly, you're probably right.

I hope all the alums are informed and take the bull by the horns (or lower extremities if need be).

Ed,

You cannot be expelled for joining a fraternity if all its activities take place off campus, any more than they can expel you for joining Jews for Jesus or the Aryan Nation. DKE used to have the info about this on their site but I can't find it. You can get those nice students down the road at Dickinson Law to fight this for you (while they are still there, that is).

I think this is going to be WAY more difficult for the guys than the girls since so many of the sorority rules are already super strict.

Here is a link to the DKE website article on the subject.
http://www.dke.org/quarterly4.html In the LCA vs Colby case the judge ruled that a public school can't expel a student simply for joining but a private school can.
