We also have had quite a few fraternities in serious trouble over the past couple of years and 2 sororities have left campus (due to low numbers) since 1999.
I'm sure the university president is having a fit if he's seen this latest statistic. He is very anti-Greek and has been imposing a lot of rules to try and squelch the Greek System. It is his #1 priority to try and make FSU a "research" university and to change the party school image. From the time I got there (1997) to the time I graduated (2001) you could tell a change in the atmosphere. Don't even get me started....  |
You're kidding, right? TK is a Phi Delt, and I know for a FACT that he regularly attends PDT alumni get togethers. I'm on an e-mail list of several of his brothers who I am friends with and I see messages back and forth with those guys all the time. He is HUGELY loyal to his fraternity, and there are tons of Greek graduates in our shared general age range who have made millions and who he has persuaded to donate money in the millions.
Of course he wants to make the University better. He's a graduate of the school!
And quite frankly, some of the isht that was going on with the fraternities needed to be squelched. Tell me that the ATO's and SAE's didn't deserve to get the boot for a while? By the way, the ATO's are back and the E's have waaay too many very influential Golden Chief donors not to get back. There's too much partying going on and not enough going to college. Don't get me started on my own house. They couldn't win an award from our national if their lives depended on it, unless it was for most implants or most nights out at Potbellies or most hottie blondes who do nothing but look just a little too South Beach. Oh boy, am I going to be in hot water for that remark. But it's true.
