Alfred Trustees Ban Fraternity and Sorority Life On Campus

Story about it in my hometowns newspaper.

I agree that its sad to see the system go, but if they have been having all the problems they have had for awhile (And I have been hearing about it sinec I was in HS)...
1) Practically 0 interest in greek life, numbers on the decline
2) Continual behavioral problems from not just a few but many
3) Terrible grades and lower than the campus average (Of course not all the orgs but a vast majority)
4) A greater proclivity to drink *which thats not a greek thats a college thing so skip that*

Then maybe it isnt bad if the campus takes a break from it for awhile. Most of the trustees on the board ARE Greek alums and are saddened (supposedly) by this. It's sad but sometimes the good ones have to take the downfall with the bad in order to make things better. However, if the greeks at Alfred have other suggestions I the board should have listen. After all the school administrators are kind of just as guilty as the Greek students for not putting a foot down when the system first started to get out of control.
