Dartmouth’s administration trying to eliminate Greeks (and I say trying, because Greek life is so much a part of the school, I have no doubt it will continue underground) doesn’t have a bloody damned thing to do with hazing or alcohol. The Greeks there have made many incremental changes (the only kind that work) to improve both of those situations and it hasn’t made a dent in the faculty or administration’s attitude. The “higher-ups” aren’t stupid. They know eliminating Greeks isn’t going to eliminate hazing or drinking.
The reason they want to get rid of Greeks is because the admninistration are a bunch of cravenly PC idiots who want to mold the students into what they consider the “correct” way of thinking. The Greek houses remain one of the only places where free thought still exists, and that is why the faculty and administration at Dartmouth want to stamp them out.
