A lot of the crimes on the blocks of greek housing at UW have nothing to do with the greeks. It is an easy place for thugs to hide, with all the trees and bushes along the sidewalks, and the general lack of lighting. Increasingly I do not like to park and walk along those streets at night, and unfortunately since there is NOT enough parking, one must often walk quite a ways to get to/from their car. I wish the Seattle PD would work with the entire neighborhood to install better lighting and encourage trimming back brush that might be a convenient place for people to hide.
But anyway, I don't regularly read of violent crime in the UW fraternities and sororities, which is why this story was newsworthy, I think.
