OH - and the DI..they've been picking on the greeks all year. in september they had a huge article discouraging freshmen girls from going through recruitment..too bad we still got the highest number (ever on campus) of PNM's!  |
Yes, exchanges at the houses went away in 2001, I believe, when most of the sororities went that way nationally.
Hahaha, back in the day (97ish?), the DI was truly independent of the university, and actually cost money. Then it published a nasty column about serenades (which I believe are gone now too). Well, apparently some of the editors forgot that over 70% of the subscriptions came from greek houses, and a very large chunk of the ads came from businesses that didn't want to anger the greeks. So the greeks canceled all subscriptions, and pressured local businesses not to advertise, and the DI was essentially put out of business, until the university stepped in with some money to save it. It then became free to all students, only sorta independent, and agreed to run a greek feature every week in the Buzz section. But again, for a group of aspiring journalists, they are not very good at research, because they cut out the section in 2002 or so, and went right on back to being nasty. If the greeks would organize again, they could hit the advertising dollars pretty hard.
