Some advice to the AU Greeks:
My school, Santa Clara University, decided to disband the Greek system just over 1 year ago. Just because the school no longer supports the Greek-letter-organizations, does not necessarily mean they must cease to exist. In the one year since we were kicked off campus, the three surviving fraternities and two sororities have grown immensely in size, quality, and overall participation in campus activities.
Several of the organizations capitalized on the new lack of school restraint and guidance, and have doulbed in size. My chapter (Zeta-Eta) of Sigma Pi Fraternity went from 27 members at the beginning of last school year, to nearly 80 members now. The sororities have both grown from 100 members to nearly 170 members now. The Greeks at SCU have come together as a new system off campus, and are now flourishing. In fact, we are doing so well off campus, that a new sorority is colonizing next year for the first time in 10 years.
To the AU students:
With hard work and dedication to your causes and your organizations too can survive and flourish in the new off-campus environment. Don't give up hope! It can, and has been done before!
