Harassment and Discrimaination
 

Hi!
I need some help about some things that have occurred at my school. I attend a small school, with about 1500 students and about 350 who live on campus. There are 4 fraternities and 4 sororities here. We are a pretty unified bunch, we have to be especially since the whole greek population is about 35.
Why I am asking for help is that there has been a lot of harrassment to pledges, and sisters, and brothers of about 3 organizations. Some of these incidents include verbal insults, professors harassing us, athletes harassing us, residence life staff giving us trouble. It really does not help that the overrall campus dislikes us and does not respect us, why? we have no clue... we do more good in the community then any other organization on campus.
This is really frustrating us so much. We all want to change this and we have gone to the President and we are waiting to see what she will do about this situation. We know and understand every now and then that there will be instances where we will be discriminated, but we have been bombarded within these last 3 weeks with all kinds of situations that should have never occurred.
What can we do besides letting everyone know the good we do, because that obviously isn't working... we need help. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Wow, that really sucks. I guess the best thing for you all to do is wait it out. Wait till the President gives you her decision. If she still does not do anything about it, I guess they'd mean you'd have to go above her and contact whoever is over your State University system-Board of Ed. I hope things work out for you though.

First off, what kind of school is it and what school?

Is it an affiliated school or State supporeted? Probably not with that small of enrollement!

How large is your Greek System, Local or National?

One thing to remember, is that no matter what, the training you get from being a member of a Greek Organization is that you learn things about how to daily runa business and yes it it is that most of the people who do not join have no idea when they Get That Peice of Paper that says I graduated.

If your President know matter What HER NAME IS must be required to keep the School working. How many Alums do you have as a Greek Organization along with others, tll them to cut it off and give to a Scholorship Foundation to Your Members or donate some way to the Chapter

Sorry to hear that. I really hope you are able to work it all out with the president and people are able to treat you with the respect you deserve. Good Luck.
