My husband and I watched that last NIGHT!!!

Personally, I think all the BGLO's that have published lists on their websites are WAAAAAYYYY ahead of the game...

But based on how various Universities see it, altogether eliminating all greek organizations--mainly "houses" from the university--it not the complete answer... I think some houses need more adult (alumni) involvement to exist and that CAN be enforced by the university... Most NPC and IFC organizations do not have that built in, although not difficult for them to do, it sounds to me that alot of these "kids" are not getting positive guidance from trained and responsible adults...

And most NPHC organizations do have that automatically built into them, historically...

However, if PWI all out ban greeks from their schools, that would kill NPHC organizations on their campuses where have some level of ethnic cohesion is necessary. I think that a university and the national headquarters need to work together to find an amicable solution rather than indiscriminantly ban all greek organizations...

Where will the "leaders" of tomorrow come from? The university inherently does not provide that kind of training... However, I think they can influence it, but inherently, they have legal issues that cannot be overcomed if they all out blow greeks off campus.
