Maybe you haven't noticed, but many Associate degrees train people in trades and other vital service-sector jobs. My father has an Associate degree and I think that what you are saying is quite discrimnatory. I know many fine, upstanding, intelligent people who have obtained Associate degrees. If you feel that providing these people with educational opportunities harms our traditional University system rather than strengthening them and providing a better educated workforce, I am a bit shocked. And I certainly don't see why that hurts the Greek system... Why shouldn't people have the opportunity to receive 2-year degrees or to form new types of Greek organizations? Rather than restricting, let's open things up!
People in 2 year degree programs are most likely either not the smartest or not the most motivated, with a high stress on most likely.

People who are not the smartest nor the most most motivated tend to be higher risks, with a high stress on tend to be.

Fraternities with a higher risk...well there really is no reason to stress the reality here.

Erik, I think in the past couple years at the most maybe 1-3 chapters have closed and in the last 4 I would say 20 chapters have become established for us at AEPi. We aren't the biggest, mostly determined by our reason for existence, and hence have avoided the risk that most GLOs face due to size.
