Open Expansion and Student Government

[CTSigmaChi]

Yeah, we don't have a Greek Life Office. We just got a Greek Life Advisor, but he has so many other things to do and was never actually involved in Greek Life, so I think he's still learning a lot about how things are supposed to work. I'm just uncomfortable still with the idea that the Student Government can "veto" a new GLO coming on campus, especially since the President and Vice-President of the Student Government Association on campus are both decidedly anti-Greek and want to get as much control of the system as they can. It's important to me that the Greeks get to manage their own affairs.

That's understandable, and I would still advise to speak to someone in Student Affairs/Student Life as Greek Life and SG would be under them. Unfortunately, you can't change your school's bylaws. If they allow the SG to veto new GLOs, than that is a battle you are going to have to face. Again, I would speak with someone in Student Life.
