It seems to me that the above is the most important and telling part of the article.
Given Delt's experience at Boulder (our former chapter lost its charter three times -- they're out), I didn't hold out much hope for the IFC and the remaining groups at Colorado -- and despite what the article points out, there is still a long way to go for them.
It may be that the current administration at CU, under President Hank Brown, a former U.S. Senator, former president of the student body there, former president at the University of Northern Colorado, and a brother Delt, is more friendly to the Greek System -- so relations between the Greeks and the University may have eased somewhat. Unfortunately, Brother Brown has announced his intention to retire.
In any event, this kind of editorial from a publication like the Colorado Daily certainly won't hurt.
It is incumbant, however, on IFC and its members to keep control of themselves.
