PsychTau2 -- I agree with you on the fact that greeks and administrators must learn to work together and cooperate to work for a better tomorrow. I also agree that it wouldn't hurt for the organizations to inform the adminstration of their rules and such. Every two years our fraternities and sororities are evaluated through a "Greek Chapter Asessment Tool" (GCAT) and rated on various criteria. However, it seems that semester after semester and year after year, the adminstration keeps expecting more and more from the Greeks. Not to say that we shouldn't be improving each year, but when other campus clubs,groups,organizations are left unchecked and unreprimanded, it creates a double standard which is bound to create tension.
Perhaps it is just my school, but the administration is seemingly unwilling to work with the students from GLOs. They don't care about individual accreditation programs and expect everybody to conform to their standards. It just seems to contradict the diversity and free-though process which college is supposed to stimulate.
While I try to be objectionable it most instances, it seems as though the adminstrations at various schools are going to be in for a rude awakening when GLOs have finally had enough of the suppression by the university. When people claim that GLOs and administrations need to learn to work together, it always seems that it's expected for the GLO to give up more sovereignty than the adminstration. How much of this and how long will it take before the current Greek system is unrecognizeable?
