what's going on at my school?
when i started at Ohio U in Fall 2001 i saw the greek system and i thought it looked great. everyone was really friendly, greeks seemed really involved and i saw letters everywhere. then, this past year we got our new greek advisor. he's really been trying to unify the greek community and i really thought that was a good thing. i went back to OU for a day this past weekend. as you know my chapter closed at the end of spring quarter and is planning on recolonizing in fall 2004. as it turns out, when we get back to school our campus's greek community will be short one NPC sorority, a NPHC sorority was suspended (i think they are going to be back this year, i don't think they were kicked off permanently) and two fraternities (Sigma Chi and Sigma Alpha Mu), we almost lost a second sorority this past year, and it's very likely that we will lose another fraternity within this upcoming school year. i just don't understand how our greek system could die so rapidly. most of the GLO's are housed here (all sororities and a little more than half the fraternities) and recruitment is very heavily advertised all over campus, usually for weeks before it actaully begins. i just don't understand it.
