I believe that people living near campus' should understand the noise and rowdyness of a campus, but I also believe that as members of a community, college students need to be respectful. Afterall, not every college student wants drunk people yelling in front of their dorm/house/apt at 3am when bars close. I think there needs to be a common ground to noise levels.
I think, especially as greeks, we should realize the benefit of having a supportive community and work to create that atmosphere. It goes both ways, neighbors live in a community for 20+ years, we are there for four/five... I don't think they should lose the right to sleep because we are young and stupid.
Colleges should facilitate community discussions if necessary and help mediate if they are going to take a role. I don't believe that either side should really be 'punished' unless there is something outlandish going on.
