I would have to disagree. I don't know of any precedent for a situation like this, so i'll throw out a hypothetical. If Jon Doe U. were to eliminate Greek life altogether at one time, what would the effect be on the university as a whole? let's just say that Jon Doe U. is a medium-sized state school (appx. 15-20,000 students). Would admissions numbers fall through the floor? Would there be significant financial reprecussions (from Greek alums withdrawing support, etc...)? What truly would be the result of an action like this?
