Tom, are you still talking about Umass or somewhere else?
I do think that we are beginning to see a significant change in the structure and status of Greek Systems everywhere.
We may be seeing a trend in smaller, more exclusive settings, much like fraternities were in the early part of last century before they started to change. In a few decades, I can imagine fraternities being almost exclusively at more well-to-do colleges and universities and viewed more like a social club.
I think it is a cycle. Slowly we are having to go back to the origins of a social club, and then that trend will slowly evovle back into the "Animal House" type that we are more familiar with.
