Here are some thoughts for both sides.
For the Administration:
Most Greek unit GPA's are HIGHER than the all male or all female averages on a given campus. In other words, Greeks tend to get higher grades, statistically, than non Greeks.
Second, Greeks tend to give more money to their alumni associations, statistically, than non Greeks.
For our Greek brothers and sisters:
Do you see the handwriting on the wall?
It's time to stop the crying and moaning over dry housing, alcohol and hazing or the Greek System as we know it is history. We can argue this forever, but other university administrations are going to be watching this situation with an eye to doing the same thing.
Let's stop blaming everyone else. It doesn't matter whether the media is fair (by the way, the usually are). And it doesn't matter that, "everyone else does the same thing."
We aren't "everyone else." We are proud members of organizations which hold us to higher standards. We have to prove that this is true. And loudly.
Fraternally,
DeltAlum
