Man,
I can't imagine going to a school where the Greeks basically run the campus.
Is there someone i can talk to about bringing the Machine or TNE or whatever does it to A&M? LOL
We have a similar issue with the Corps of Cadets on our campus and specifically Yell Leader elections. For the non-Aggies out there, A&M doesn't have cheerleaders, we have 5 male Yell Leaders. This tradition started in the old days when A&M was an all male military school and some of the seniors told 5 "fish" or freshman to put on janitors uniforms and entertain their dates on the sidelines.
Anyhow, nowadays Yell Leaders are consider ambassadors of the University and are present at all football games and most other sporting events at home. They are elected by the student body. For years, the Corps would get together and select it's candidates for each year's elections. Then, every member of the Corps would vote for the 5 Corps Candidates, an action that's called the "Corps Bloc". Non-Corps members have been elected, but they are ususally in close races or run-offs.
Every year the non-Corps candidates moan about Corps Bloc, but nothing really can be done.
Now only if we could get a Greek Bloc going.....
