Housing at my school was completely shut down about a decade ago. This is because "partying" was the only thing that the public saw, they refused to see the greek orgs for what they were. They didn't want "their" community to be brought down because of greek housing. Just think, you still have your house. Many campuses won't let greek housing be available to their greek orgs. If you get a house off campus, it isn't approved by the nationals, there is no win-win situation. Socials are fun, parties are fun, but don't let this bring you down, show people what greeks really stand for and why they are wrong. Maybe things will change, who knows?

I understand what you mean by the whole greek image thing, but people who think that way are going to think badly no matter how hard we try to make them understand us as something besides the image they already have. I know that my chapter stands for way more than partying, as does every other chapter I know of. What I'm saying is that we all like to have fun at frat parties-and that by not allowing us to party somewhere close enough to campus that we can walk to and from is just going to cause more accidents when it comes to alcohol. I mean I know that we always have sober sis, but there are a lot of people who don't-so these people will end up driving drunk, and it will in my opinion cause many more accidents involving alcohol-but thanks for your opinion
