I agree.

It sounds as though the school needs to take a second look at the caliber of student they are admitting and quit blaming it on the fact that they wear shirts with Greek letters on them.

Or the school needs to stop demonizing the Greek system. The more you say "Greeks are evil and bad" the more evil and bad people will join. Self fulfilling prophecy.

The worst thing this school could do would be to completely derecognize Greek life. Then they'd have no control over them whatsoever and wouldn't be able to discipline the students - any more than they could discipline a student if he got in trouble at an event with, say, the local off-campus branch of Kiwanis. I don't know why people don't get this, it seems fairly simple to me.
