Lehigh Puts Delta Gamma on "Disciplinary Deferred Dissolution"

Exactly what I was thinking. When did Dean Wormer move to Lehigh.
Actually, all this at Lehigh sounds more like a 'let's get rid of Greeks' sort of program.

If Lehigh ever wants to get rid of the Greeks, it won't be because they want the land as some landlocked campuses are doing.

Greek Row at Lehigh is located in the woods half-way up a ridge which forms the south side of the Great Valley which runs from Maine to Georgia. The Appalachian Trail is on the north side. The point is, that even though the Lehigh campus is located in south-side Bethlehem, very close to the old Bethlehem Steel, the Row is in the woods up the hill. There is nothing above or to either side of it except more woods.

This also ties in to the 24/7 up their asses thought. There are only three roads that go to the Row. One from the main campus and two from a local road that snakes over the hill. The campus cops close the gates at night which just makes the Row more isolated that it already was. It's very hard to police the area.

BTW, my aunt was just over and told me that she dated a Lafayette Deke in her youth.

The way I read it, DG is one of the few sororities on the "Row" and the other girls' groups are in a more accessible place. Is that right?

"I believe DG was very honest from the beginning and that goes a long way," Wilkinson said. "I've tried to explain that to other chapters."


That's great, but this statement sort of reminds me of the pointlessness of confessing your heresy to Henry VIII. He felt better that maybe you weren't going to hell, but he still had your head cut off.

I haven't been on the row in years, but I drive by often on Sunday mornings and see all of the cars parked on the road of people who were locked out on Saturday night.

I had to check the maps to see who was where. Here are two. They both look north and down a very steep hill; it's called South Mountain. I don't know if there are any off-campus houses.

Some of the most isolated houses are sororities (if Google is correct).

Actually, I think it's more of "Let's hold Greeks accountable to their rituals and programs." If they wanted to get rid of Greeks, they wouldn't have just expanded with Zeta Tau Alpha and last year with Pi Kappa Alpha and Delta Chi.
