Perhaps Princeton, like many many other institutions, does not want to alienate wealthy alumni. Since virtually everyone at Princeton joins an eating club, that's potentially a lot of donated money that could be lost by heavily sanctioning/getting rid of the eating clubs. Princeton, despite having a cost of attendance that rivals the median household income in this country, guarantees that students don't have to take out a single loan while they're enrolled. Where do you think that money comes from? Monopoly?

Again, I don't see why this bothers so many people. There are still NPC/NIC greeks, they're just not recognized by the University. If you want to join, you still can!

I think if my ex read this he would laugh...although he had scholarships, he still had to take out loans, last he told me he was in debt by six digits, hopefully he was exaggerating! But why cant they just have the eating clubs and greek life live in peace and harmony? Why shun one and not the other? Im pretty sure greek life does more good than those clubs..
