It is a virulently anti-Greek article start to finish. It's very classist, very typical of the stereotype left-agenda-driven student journalist.
Just as we all talk to each other in this forum and through various Greek gatherings to disucss current issues, so do they. I recognize the theme this writer promotes, and it is one that is echoed acorss the country by similar activists.
When they (student editorial board) say the University should "loosen their ties and make Greek life independent" what they mean is that the UA should withdraw official rcognition from fraternities & sororities, dissolve any Greek Life staff that exists, and drive them off University land. That is exactly what they mean and that is what they mean on other campusses where that same attitude and agenda exists.
The irony is that at some schools the greeks might actually be better off if that were the case. Too often these days the University's rules and regulations of greek-letter groups is so restrictive and Draconian as to be punitive. Fortunately, for those fraternities and sororities who understand the truth about their status at public institutions, most of this intrusive administrative meddling is illegal, and can be dealt with effectively by organized alumni.
I read a Greek Life website just last night and the official "agreement between" the Greeks and the school stated that each chapter was responsible for the behavior of the individual members. What nonsense! What other group or entity on campus would put up with such outrageous requirements? What other group or entity would even be asked to consider it?
