This was a very classy paragraph on the part of the university. Good for them.
Agreed. Too bad someone didn't proofread, though. I doubt that 50+ fraternity and sorority chapter comprise nearly 4,000 students; more likely that the chapters are comprised of 4,000+ students.

Grammar mistakes in press releases from educational institutions are not good PR.
