University of Pittsburgh reviewing greek life!

[kddani]

I'm pretty wary of this whole thing, but at the same time, doubtful that they would get rid of the greek system.

For one, we really don't cause much trouble. Underage drinking is the only problem that we've had in recent memory that I can really think of, as well as what goes along with it (fights, etc.), which happen just as much, if not more, at off campus parties. We've actually gotten a lot of good press for the university, raising a hell of a lot of money for philanthropy.

Second, there are A LOT of greek alumni that they would be alienating. I remember working at the Capital Campaign Weekend ( a HUGE fundraising event that they had two years ago), and meeting incredible amounts of greek alumni. They would risk losing a TON of money from alumni- and you know Pitt is always on the lookout.

I do think that chapter advisors and national/international headquarters of the groups need to be advised that this is going on, because the manner in which they're going about doing it is very shady.

I'm wary, but hopeful that they're doing the right thing.
