It's based on social comfort." That is a ridiculous concept upon which to try to base the anti-Greek position considering that the eating clubs (at least the ones that Bicker) choose their members in the same way.

It's their campus and, as long as the students don't revolt, they can do as they choose. They can get rid of or water down the greeks because they don't want them there, but I sure wish they wouldn't try to sugarcoat the whole thing in an extremely flimsy veil of inclusion.
