Underground Chapter
I read a news article that concluded an underground chapter of Alpha Delta Phi has and continues to exist at Williams College 35 years after the college trustees banned greek life as a "matter of educational policy".
The article states"ADPHI still holds secret meetings on campus and maintains a chapter meeting room." from the Williams Record 12/5/03, Does anyone have any further information.
By way of explanation Williams abolished its once strong greek system in 1968. Recently Williams administrators reaffirmed the ban and added by way of insult that their "oh so qualified students agreed with the ban and no real interest in reviving greeks existed on campus".
What a self serving load of BS, especially if an underground has survived for 35 years with a threat of member expulsion. Some student must seek out greek life.
I really don't understand the trend in colleges and our larger society to limit freedom of assembly and expression.
PS check out the Williams site, they allow all sorts of groups, just not greeks.
KA Society and Theta Delta Chi also supposedly had undergrounds at Williams( at least the 150 year DU history so states) anyone have the scoop.
