Corrections.
so... i also go to Tulane and participate in the greek system there. and I would like to set the record straight.
I encourage you all to support the 24 fraternities and sororities at Tulane that are still in good standing by not perpetuating rumors or embellishments of the truth. TWO pledges were injured, TEN were responsible, and the Eta Chapter's charter was nullified both locally and nationally.
These are allegations that will be properly dealt with at the start of the fall semester. Those who are proven to have broken the law will be dealt with both with the state of Louisiana and Tulane Student Affairs. Not to mention that the entire student body knows who these guys are and so they go to class and walk around campus shamed. What I'm saying is that these guys will not get off easy.
That being said, I think it's important to remember this is not the first or last time that something like this has happened- an unfortunate by-product of what's supposed to be one of the better experiences of college. You can't imagine how much publicity Tulane itself has been getting because of this.
to put it nicely, "good riddance" is what pretty much the entire community is thinking at this point. the boys of Pike have had this coming for a long, long time and everybody knows it. Tulane Pike is absolutely NOT indicative of the character or morals of the rest of the greeks on our campus.
On a side note - the average size of sorority pledge classes has, in one year, gone up from about 30 to 50 girls in each of the 6 NPC chapters (AEPhi, Chi O, Theta, Kappa, SDT, Pi Phi). We predict roughly 100 more than last year will go through recruitment in January of 2009.
So for that poster who said our greek system is declining, I'm happy to report that you are mistaken.
Thanks.
