Physical (in?)accessibility of the Greek life?
Hi all,
I'm wondering how accessible your Greek system/houses are to those with physical disabilities.
I go to a campus with a small but rather old (all four chapters are 80+ years) NPC Greek system, and, perhaps as a result, our houses are old and thus pretty inaccessible. I have a physical disability, and while I'm fortunate enough to be able to get into my chapter's house with some minimal assistance, I haven't been able to live in due to the house's inaccessibility. We had two girls in wheelchairs go through recruitment last year. Both pledged different houses (from me and from each other), but both have since disaffiliated, and it wouldn't surprise me if the lack of accessibility was part of--but not all--of the issue.
To be clear, I love my sisters, and they've always been really great about making sure things are accessible to me. I'm just curious about the level of accessibility at different campuses, and if/how this has been handled with regards to PNMs/NMs/members with disabilities.
