I've known about this for a short time, we just have no other way to get into contact with the other sorority chapter advisors. Honeychile and KDdani, can you see if your respective chapter advisors have any of the emails that sharon sent out to all of the advisors during recruitment?(at least sorority chapter advisors?)I know it's a long shot but still.... In reality there is not much we can do as we are just alumna. I forwarded the article to Pitt's DPhiE chapter advisor a while ago. I'll see what she has to say about it.

As far as changes....hmmm, well first I have to agree with honeychile in that you all have to be very careful with your actions this year, including the greek week formal. If you really want to find out what other greek systems are like try contacting some other greeks at schools with similar demographics as you all. Urban Campus, small percentage of greeks,etc. I'll try to pm you with some of the stuff that really does need to change.

That lady's name sounds familiar. I used to work in the mailroom at towers and if its who i am thinking of she had something to do with safety. I could be wrong though, I know she did something with the pitt police.

Try not to be defensive about this whole review thing. I'm guessing that all of the fraternities and sororities heard review of greek system and started the rumor mill that pitt is trying to get rid of greek life, as they do every year when SGB holds elections. Think of it as a way to make positive changes. I agree that it's shady but you do have to make the best of it.

If you guys are frustrated with them not knowing remember that a) they can't keep track of EVERY student organization big or small and that b) someone needs to make sure that the higher ups know what you are doing.....they don't read the pitt news and I've never seen the chancellor strolling about club laga during greek week events.

In the meantime, keep us posted!!
