Ok to help defend my case that I had made this morning.
Yes I am a Fraternity guy who is very active at SIUC's Greek System.
I understand that at most schools but the university is no where close to where it used to be tag lined as a party school. And I mean no where close to being one since both the town and school are really cracking down on underage drinking and unregistered socials.
But the main purpose as to why I think it would be nice to have more NPC chapter at SIUC is to help our Greek Systems competition scale get better and involve more participation from chapters who do not participate because they do not have a partner. We have 1 big all Greek competition every semester First semester Homecoming, and second semester its the Theta Xi Variety Show. It's always the same three fraternities and the sororities.
Our fraternities get extremely discouraged to participate in any event if they do not get teamed up with a sorority and it makes our Greek community look sad in front of the school when the school is now finally giving more support to us since we have not had any real major incident since 2004. With the school's support I feel that the alumni are going to really want to push to bring in there old chapters after this years homecoming since the alumni association is hosting its first ever all Greek reunion for all active and inactive chapters to come back. Along with the university finally getting around to building us a new Greek Row even though it will eventually effect my chapter more.
And to Drolefille. Our Greek system does not have big issues. Asides from the usual idiots in IFC chapters but that's how it is at every school.
