The "system" apparently all worked together with this one. It is the first time I received direct notification of such an incident before hearing it on the news. I actually received an email with information, from the Chapter Advisor, who had received it from the Panhellenic Delegate, who had received it from the Panhellenic President. That notification included information about counseling for sorority women who felt that they needed it. So, as far as crisis management, the University did a good job this time.
Phyllis, I also heard that VP of Student Affairs on the news and had the same exact thought. A couple of EMU fraternities (one of which is no longer there) had an adversary relationship with the university, but over all, it was neutral at worst, and good at times. When EMU was almost kicked out of the MAC, it was the Greeks who all started going to football games and making it cool to do so. The Greeks are highly visible on campus with their philanthropy projects and use the student union for all of their meetings and activities. When I was a sophomore, the AGD President was also President of Student Government. While it's not a huge system, it hasn't been very problematic either. Numerous times over the last two decades, the university approached sororities about providing housing too, but it never came to fruition.
The only current EMU students I know who are on GC now are two of the women from Sigma Nu Phi, a longstanding local on campus. Many of the students would just be moving back to campus today after the break.
