James, that's exactly what they're saying because that's exactly the way they think. We were better off before the whole "Greek Life" movement began proliferating. If you got in trouble, you had to go see the Dean. Otherwise, absent setting buildings on fire or putting pledges in the hospital, they left you alone. Everyone certainly seemed happy.
Now, the universities are lousy with painfully sincere and self-important types earnestly described as "Greek Life Professionals." And when budget time rolls around and they have to jusitfy their existence they proudly report that we here at Greek Life stay busy making life nearly unendurable for the Greeks. Good job, good job, they're told, keep after them. After all, we know better than they do what's best for them.
Maybe there should be two greek systems: one for the actual members, and another for the university. We'll see who wants to join which ones.
Nothing wrong with standards. All the nationals have them, and most of the chapters. The problem comes when those outside the national organization or the chapters seek to impose arbitrary and politically correct standards of their own.
