DePauw Establishes Fact - Finding Commission on Greek Life

DePauw (okay, Indiana Asbury for you Thetas and Alpha Chis) is known for the high percentage of its students in fraternities and sororities. The DePauw trustees recently voted unanimously to set up a fact-finding commission as a first step in looking at Greek life and its contribution to DePauw's mission.

See news release at:

http://www.depauw.edu/news/index.asp?id=17449

See also the link in the news release. The link is entitled "Read About the Greek-Fact Finding Commission" and it leads to a letter (in PDF) from DePauw's president giving background and a timetable. Background includes the physical condition of some of the fraternity houses, two "major" hazing incidents in the past year, two instances of "major issues" with alcohol abuse in the month of April (presumably April '06, one with a fraternity, one with a sorority), and Greek and non-Greek hospitalizations due to alcohol consumption.

I can't predict where this will lead, but I assume that GLOs with chapters at DePauw will be keeping tabs on developments.
