Greek Advisor....hmmmmmm

[josh8o]

Does your school have a Greek advisor who seems to hurt the GLO's more than help them?

Well, at SDSU we do (and I'm sure deltasigstan will agree).
I have been waiting to post this because it is a tricky subject, and I didn't know how I should go about it...anyway, here it goes:

i attended the nor-cal freshman/transfer orientation a few weeks ago. at the orientation there was a 2 hour period where the new students could walk around to the various tabled set up for clubs and housing at SDSU. i represented the IFC at the fraternity and sorority life table. when I got there I looked at the info papers that I would be handing out. On the paper that had everything you could ask about Greek life there was a section listing every GLO in their category (IFC, Panhellenic, USFC, etc.). Next to my fraternities name there were 2 asterisks (**). if you looked at the bottom of the page it said "** denotes suspended university privdleges." basically it was telling any PNM's that that house is in trouble, and has limited privileges. My house was the only one to have the asterisks next to its letters.
Now this would not be a big deal, but off the top of my head I can think of 2 other IFC fraternities that have been in trouble with the school, and will be on probation in the fall. One for a cocaine bust last summer by San Diego Police Department. The other thing that makes this unfair is that I have a copy of a letter from the vice president of student affairs for the university (and it was send to every Greek life advisor, and assistant advisors) saying that our "sanctions" will be reviewed with our nationals by the start of the year. What does this mean? well we could have every university privilege back by the start of fall. I will be personally meeting with our nationals in 10 days at our GAC to discuss our standing (and it is good, very good, right now). The last I heard from our President was that our Alumni were planning on meeting with the Greek Advisor to talk about this.
Back to the point of my thread....
Is this discrimination? What are our rights?
have you had a Greek advisor that does more harm than good? What did you do about it? any advice for me?
