I am wasting my time when I reply to all these threads about my school... because ultimatley no one knows the truth like we do when it comes to our school. And sorry kddani I am not sweeping anything under a rug. I live with the consequences of everything thats happened every day, it would be impossible for me to be in denial about it.
Although your intentions may have been good your post with links is still riddled with major errors. No Sigma Chi pledge died...he almost died from alcohol poisening but is alive and kicking. Pi Beta Phi closed very recently due to an alcohol violation, NOT HAZING. By Phi Kappa Phi I think you meant Pi Kappa Phi, and Adrian Heidemans death was due to alcohol not hazing. I have friends who were in his pledge class.
Maybe you should read through all those posts and check your facts before posting ignorant titles for them.
I don't try and sugar coat the things that happen here. We drink a lot. We party a lot. I think an average of 2 people per "going out night" (thursday, friday, saturday) get sent to the hospital for alcohol. It's something the campus has struggled with for a LONG time but is slowly changing for the better. I think all the changes about to happen to the greek system and campus are good, although they will make being greek kinda shitty, but hopefully people won't be so stupid in the future.
I also only strive to get the truth out about whats going on at Chico...I am haunted every day by Matthews death as I live 1 block away from the Chi Tau house and I think of him in that disgusting basement when I drive or walk by. So don't think I am dismissing this as something that just "happens". But people still don't seem to grasp that Chi Tau wasn't really a part of any greek system. They don't reflect in any way the other groups, national or local.
I would also like to say thanks for everyone actually posting the truth about the newspapers. I appreciate people actually checking their facts instead of listening to heresay.
So I wanted to ask... as a Chico Greek... I admit "we" as a student body, screwed up pretty bad. So what are we supposed to do about it? I see lots of you saying very negative things about how awful and murderous and sinful we all are, even though everyone knows about the things Zingg is doing to help. Sure as individuals you can all just sit back and say "well it's easy just stop doing all that bad stuff" but if you were our greek advisor or the president or the director of student life what would your plan be?
If you can't come up with something better than what we are already trying, then I don't really want to hear anyones criticism.
