UGH that disgusts me! I seriously want to look into that. That's so wrong. I'm sure it was the individual tour guide who said that, and it wasn't part of their training.

This is a place with a banana slug (or some like-sounding icky bug) as a mascot, the school thinks its clever, and no football team.

Another school where Greeks have almost totally fallen off the radar: Humboldt State, only a few houses left.
When I was looking at grad schools and for a student life activities internship I did a search within the university's website on Greek life. What came up was stunning. Several houses used to be there, it had a very active system, but wild parties and the like led the school and the city to basically shut the door.

It had to be just the individual tour guide who said that. I was kinda shocked at the crappiness of that statement. She said it when she saw some girls wearing their letters leaving the little student area with the student store and places to eat.

Ha, too bad that tour wasn't last week! I saw a tour last week go by all of the tabling for spring recruitment. That tour guide couldn't have said that amidst that scene!
