Sororities at......Swarthmore?

[dvs-dz]

Delta Zeta was also at Swarthmore - our Beta Eta chapter. I don't think it was open very long, though.

I would be extremely surprised if sororities returned to Swarthmore as none of its peer colleges (Williams, Amherst, Pomona, Bowdoin, Carleton, etc) have Greek life.

Ah, but do the peer colleges have fraternities? From reading the article, it seems the argument is that if the college supports fraternities they should also support sororities; to do otherwise is to unfairly discriminate against women.

Like Mevara, I read it as indicating they might institute some sort of local sororities.

Pomona AND Amherst have GLOs, although Amherst denies it. At least some of Pomona's are co-ed

How does that work? Are they not recognized by the school? Or are they, and the school just doesn't "advertise" this facet of student life?

I'm assuming these would be locals?

They're not recognized by the school. And I don't think all the fraternities are local.

(note, this is Amherst College we're talking about, not UMass-Amherst)
