I guess I am the only one to think this is a bad idea lol.
My view comes from serving as VP of Greek Council which among its many responsibilities, also covered judicial matters.
Creating a rule is easy. Creating a rule to correspond with an ideal is even laudatory.
However, enforcement becomes tricky. As sherbertlemmons said, if enforced rationally it might not be a bad idea, if you think its a good idea to have an umbrella agency rule on your ablity to express yourself, something that will be different every year with a different group of officers.
Especially because almost all guidelines about what constitutes being "obscene" are going to be very vague.
What you will end up seeing is the rule enforced selectively and chapters made examples of, and people turning eachother in and creating hard feelings.
Umrella organizations such as panhellenic and IFC should be very reluctant to take on policing roles with their member organizations. It weakens the system in the end.
If people really thought that this was important, or is important, they will pass rules within their individual chapters.
I am curious about what even brought this up? Why is this even a Panhell issue? It sounds like something an administrator would (and have) suggested to "improve the image of Greek Life".
