Looking for some advice on Greek life

one thing that i know helps with getting a positive image of greek life out at my school is doing things for the school. it's not just about presenting a good image or giving the school a good name by volunteering, but actually making every students time spent at the school a better one. we have a social commitee for all of ifc with a representative or two from each org. we not only hold events for just greeks but things for the whole school. and they all have to be alcohol free because my sorority is dry. non-greeks at my school sometimes feel that being greek is something totally different from being a student at our school. but to me, being greek suppliments all the other experiences that i have at college.

Problem with this is that IFC's have their own agenda and many organizations do not have a council member on the board. Now at your school, the IFC may be good but I have seen more than one IFC that has had its own agenda's by kicking groups out of IFC and not giving them recognition. If an individual organization keeps their path free of obstacles and is responsible then the administration of the school may look on it favorably.

Ultimately it comes down to fraternal values. We as greeks really need to look at our values and the values of the entire greek community and take them into account when taking action. We cannot give administrations an inch toward eliminating greek life.
