I agree. There was nothing in this article that I felt was far off the mark. Aside from the race deal, this sums up Greek life at my school fairly well. (At Wisconsin, the Greek system pretty much mimics the student body in terms of race. However, this isn't much to brag about since the school as a whole is over 90 percent white, with most of that remaining ten percent being Asian.)

I don't think that it makes sense to keep on pretending like we as Greeks are holding ourselves to standards that are THAT much higher than the rest of the student body, when on the whole, we aren't.
