Some fascinating posts.
#1- When did Lambda Chi Alpha get tossed at Millersville? I wasnt aware that my fraternity got closed there. If you thought I was a Sig Tau member, I am not. However I had several High School friends pledge there and we kept in touch over the years to know what were hot button topics to them at MU, thus I actually ahd a copy of that article where Big Brother Millersville shafted free thought and democratic choice for the Greek Students. If MU actually made the changes you describe, I'd be shocked. My suspiscion (sp?) is that they are just telling you something that they will "try to do in the future" and will never deliver. Shippensburg has been well known for the empty promises to the greeks they have made for many many years, similar to the one you have described. Dznat, I am sure you are a dedicated sister of DZ, and I do not mean to insult you by telling you to not drink the Kool Aid. Be very wary of the "Big Brother" system at place at your school. Look up the copy of the "SNAPPER" I described, it is very troubling to see the democratic process get trampled on by a 30 year old memo at your University.
#2- Shippensburg a Hippie School? Perhaps an amish area prep school would be more appropriate. College students EVERYWHERE have always been about change and questioning authority. From anti war demonstrations to boycotts of campus services when student felt that labor unions were getting a raw deal are part of HIGHER learning. I.E question everything and open an honest debate about issues. I live near Penn State, there are rallies on the main street outside of campus every week for a variety of causes, speakers are brought in ranging from Michael Moore to Ann Coulter to push political and social agendas. While I do not agree with all of these I am glad the students are always pushing the boundaries and working to change things, this is and has been the American way. And as to the example of firing an employee over hiring practices, if the people in question didnt like the employment situtiaon enough they might sue the complany for unfair practices. Or if the company wanted to pursue excluding people (NFL v. Maurice Clarett) can they back it up in court?
