I will admit that I have absolutely nothing to do with any monies sent to (#31) Pitt.

Nor will I ever send them money until they recognize the Greek Community in their Alumnae events as much as other schools.

WVU isn't on the list, but I feel pretty much the same way. I will never donate to my school because of the way they treat the greeks on this campus. I find it sort of ironic b/c the vast majority of the money being donated comes from greek alumnia.

My alma mater, which is on the list, is lukewarm to Greeks. My Greek experience, however, was such a small part of my larger college experience that they could get rid of the entire Greek system and I would continue to donate.

My grad school's also on the list--but I wouldn't give that hellhole another penny unless my life depended on it.
