Y'know, I really wish everyone would get off the backs of places like Harvard. I understand why they banned Greek Life- if I were an administrator here, I'd be digging for ways to kill off GLOs. Greeks are NOT assets everywhere- most especially not in New England. At UMass, they have poor grades (the average student has a 2.9, the average Greek a 2.6), cost the town thousands in law enforcement costs, and completely terrorize their neighbors. I will be the first one to admit that we have a terrible Greek system, and it probably should be swept away.
That said, I've been working for two years to help improve it, and it's getting better little by little, but still....if Northeastern Greeks were the only variety I'd ever seen, I'd want them banned everywhere, instantly.
