Well, Adrienne has a pretty good handle on what's happening - I was just going to post something about it.
There has been a great deal of discussion lately about Greek Life, more than in my past 4 years at this school combined. The True 2 slate that is mentioned in the articles won the Student Union elections (the other two slates said straight out that they opposed Greek Life at the school, so I'm damn glad they lost). This slate has a member of Zeta Beta Tau on board, and is pro-Greek life; a good start.
As Adrienne said, what's startling about the anti-Greek letters is how much these people buy into the stereotypes and just straight-up HATE Greek life. The letters from Greek members (especially the one from Kerianne) have been solid, calm, and based well in fact. Rob (KSigRC) wrote in a very good letter that did not get published, and I myself am writing in a letter this weekend that hopefully will get in on Monday.
Administration is starting to come around, bit by bit, as there seems to be more support for Greeks on campus than ever before. However, letters like these from the students are frustrating; because we've had such a small Greek system for such a long time, I don't think they realize how good a strong Greek Community would be for Boston U.
I'll post my letter when I'm done writing it, so even if it doesn't get in you all can see it.
