He got his balls in a twist when the school didn't go with this idea. I pointed out that the students themselves had not asked for such a thing, and that forcing Greeks into such housing would cause the system to go into even more of a downward spiral.

All our houses are off campus and in the township, not the borough. They do have some issues but for the most part, they're issues shared by ALL students living off-campus. I don't think that on-campus housing is something our Greeks would want at this point in time, unless it would be a matter of having suites so they could then have "unofficial" houses.
