I loved this discussion in the book. Unfortunately, widespread sanctioning of Greeks will only drive away these people who fit into the "maybe joiners" group. I'm hoping Panhel can get together to improve the image of Greeks on campus at Towson. These groups have so much to offer, and Bid Day antics are such a small part of the picture, but it is beginning to overwhelm the positives of Greek life.
A strong panhellenic presence will help all of the chapters on campus. Hopefully, activities will be a little more circumspect, dirty rushing will be eliminated and rules will be enforced consistently. Of course, ignorance is never an acceptable excuse for breaking the rules, but rules being broken in such a widespread manner indicates major problems at a much higher level than the individual chapters. I'm staying positive that this campus will make the necessary changes to improve the status of Greek organizations so that the negative stories aren't the only stories heard by the public.
