Also, Alexandra Robbins, the non-greek author who is a self described expert on greeks was saying that pledging shoudl be eliminated. "Anytime you have hirearchies, there going to be abuses." BS, our society is built on hirearchies. Abuseive systems need to be eliminated. If Sigma Nu wants to have pledges, great, let em. Its their right.

While Robbins may not be a 'Greek' she does however at least have some insider insight into the 'exlusive/secret society' life. I personally give her more credit than the outsiderer looking in....
Now as fo locals... I've dealt with that system.. and while it did have it benefits (sororities throwing the keggers) it was ultimately self-limiting - no really potential for growth unless they where willing to abandon the "we'll party who gives a damn" attitude and come to the understandind that what they do no matter how indirect - has an impact on GLOs and more importantly an image issue.
That being said I had a lot of respect for the attitudes and standards that some locals at Carleton University where trying to uphold.
