Oooo, I have a question about housing!
How many people have minority Greeks orgs on your campus that have university provided housing? I know some orgs don't allow it, but even for those that do, I have noticed a HUGE disparity in who gets the housing from the University.
While I understand some orgs are smaller and thus it is hard to fill a 80 person house, why can't they just have some smaller houses be available to these orgs?
My reasoning is from research I have done, about 98% of respondents (out of 1160) I polled said that their chapter did not have university provided housing - this was just Asian Greeks mind you which statistically have larger numbers at PWIs than Black and Latino Greeks.
Moreover, many respondents also felt that their administrations didn't care about minority Greek orgs. While this doesn't surprise me, it seems like that this "old boy" network that runs Greek Life offices is not prepared for the modern world.
