University Of Alabama Finally Votes To Integrate Greek System
 

University Of Alabama Finally Votes To Integrate Greek System-Less than a month ago, the student government blocked a similar measure to support integrating fraternities and sororities.

That seems like a pretty useless action. All for show. No student government vote will have an impact on Greek membership.

Wish I was good with gifs because I'd insert one here with a slow clap and rolled eyes.

I thought I was just being a naysayer when I read this article and said "uh...okay...whatever...."

Non-event.
I agree with amIblue?

C'mon, people, do you appreciate anything? :p Where are those other threads where people were singing "Kumbaya" and "A Change Gonna Come?"

I was boooooooooooooorrrrrrnnn by University of Alabama!
Where it's really tense!
Just for that Greek House, I've been applying ever since.
It's been a looooong, a long time coming
And I knooooooooow, my letters gonna come.
Ohhhhhh yes they willlllllllll....

Finally and will it truely work and take hold??

Look for tomorrow's votes on "Rotten Eggs Are Rotten" and "Being Killed Kind Of Hurts."

Next week "Water is Wet.":p

I would be curious to read the actual bills, the one that passed and the one that failed. I would imagine they have no practical purpose, and the first was more intended to generate a PR crisis than to fix the problem with actual, deliverable solutions.

All that being said, the Alabama Greek community is the most backward in the country and needs to get with the 21st century.

Thanks.

Typical student government at work. Needing to feel important, but not really doing anything specific to drive change.

Still...why was it so hard to pass the bill the first time? I'm guessing racism played a large role, but maybe there were some who recognized the bill had no practical solutions.
