Greek Life is Dead...

[excuse_3]

This is going to be kind of long. Alright I have to explain. I already go a private university that is very small and the greek life is quite miniscular in size. We have 2 Sororities and 3 Fraternities. Last semester (spring 2002) the school's administration came down so hard on all of us because it deemed that all GLOs have evil origins and all the good stuff we do is a cover up for corruption and illegal activity. This came from a situation that happened on the campus years ago with a GLO that is not even present anymore on the campus. They started trying to tap into our meetings and follow us around. They had phones in the dorms tapped and also put taps in a someones apartment. Isn't that illegal?!?! They banded us from wearing any greek praphinalia(hope I spelled that right) , or have it on our cars or hold meetings of any sort and if we did we would get expelled. At the beginnng of this semester every Fraternity and Sorority member had holds on their accounts so they could not register till they went and formally denounce their affiliation in the organization they where a part of to the adminstration.

Our national board wrote a letter to the school to inform them that we will honor their views and will not pledge anyone else from the school publicly or in secret but existing brothers already inducted will remain members. And that we will refrain from promoting our fraternity and will not hold any such activities on campus.

This has bummed out a lot of brothers and scared them. Although we all know that the school will not expell anybody for being in the orginization because they would have already if that was the case, nobody has the greek spirit anymore. This has distorted their views of greek life, and a couple of brothers are contemplating denouncing from the organization as a whole. No one comes to meetings anymore etc. I on the other hand remain with the greek flame I first had. What can I do to bring it back to the brothers and what can we do to still remain unofficially active. I am very stressed. Okay Im done I hope someone reads this and replies.
