I’m curious how this all shakes out. Ten years down the line, does anyone really picture GLOs sitting around having tea and biscuits? I think a lot of schools will see a change in their bottom lines if the shuttering continues at this rate.
Don’t get me wrong, some have earned their suspensions at PSU and other schools and anyone involved in episodes like the Piazza tragedy should be prosecuted. But knee-jerk reactions rarely achieve the desired effect. Insanely short (TXST is down to 4 weeks) or non-existent new member programs have not helped. Universities, GLOs, and chapter advisers could use a reasonable pledge period for good. A drinking age of 21 does not equate to sober collegians any more than an absence of condoms equates to celibacy.
