I really want this school so if i went and started my own greek life do you think the Student Life offices would be against me? I think greek orgs are healthy ways to meet ppl and to have sumthing to fall back on, but they don't see it that way- HELP (give me lots of info)

Forito,
If you really want to attend SUNY in Purchase, NY, then I say go for it. However, I think you should go in with the realization that your desire for Greek Life may never come to fruition. When an administration is against Greek Life, it makes it very difficult to organize a GLO on campus.
I'm not trying to discourage you, but I just want you to realize that if you attempt to start a Greek organization on a campus that has an anti-Greek sentiment, then you're going to face a lot of problems. If you work hard, you may be able to overcome them, but it's important that you know the difficulties going in. Starting a new GLO is a tough process on a Greek-
friendly campus. I can only imagine how hard it would be on an anti-Greek one. Good luck to you, though! The results of determination and hard work can be pleasantly surprising at times.
