As a Kent State Alumna, I can tell you that they relish articles such as this and I am NOT suprised to see it in the Stater. The Stater was probably our biggest enemy when I was an undergrad and I do not think it has changed.
As to the SAEs, they have lost their charter. This was about their 3rd suspension in a short period of time, and their national finally just eliminated the problem. As close as I was to them and as many good friends as I had there, I can honestly say they really had this coming for a long time.
Kent State is an example of a campus that has done very little to change its real image and personality over the last 30 years or so. It is still clinging to its super-liberal May 4, 1970 ideals, perhaps as a way of alleviating a guilty conscience for allowing four students to be shot protesting the government and war. At times, being at Kent State was like being in a time warp.
I love Kent State and I will never regret going there. The greek system (during my time there) was a very small, very tight-knit pocket of mainly conservative, upwardly-mobile students who had a different vision for the future. Things are a little shakier now but I think that the system will survive.
