I would believe that the cynicism comes from a ten year plan being implemented on a college campus. Someone who is a freshman now would be an alumnae 6 years out of school by the time they reach the deadline. It's rather difficult to keep up the same fire and passion about these goals when the group that started them is no longer present.

Yes.

There's also the notion of addressing "every aspect" of Greek life. That could be a heckuva lot of issues, a hellacious amount of detail, and in my opinion could lead to people feeling overwhelmed and burned out, no matter how enthusiastic they were at the outset.

Hence, the 10 year plan.

Hasn't this Hesp dude been at a shitload of different schools? Job security perchance?

Cynically,
