Trinity College(CT) - All Greek Orgs Told to Go Co-ed

[Psi U MC Vito]

Do you think we will have a rash of new locals now with this? Something similar to this is actually how Psi U went co-ed in the first place. After reading the article, all I can say is wow. It seems like this is just a way to force the Greeks to go. There is no real justification for it other wise. And I can't say I'm surprised, though am kind of sad, that the BB of Psi U seems to be strongly against this.

Was there something other than the "scapegoat" comment that tells you they're against this?

In any event, I wouldn't be too sad if they are against it. There's a difference between opposing a fraternity's choice to be co-ed (or a chapter's choice when permitted by fraternity rules), and opposing attempts to force a fraternity or chapter to go co-ed "or else," especially if it feels like Greeks are being made scapegoats or are being shut-down through the back door.

This is the same stupid shit they've done before at tons of "elite" Northeastern colleges. The Greek groups just go underground and the partying and elitism gets 10x worse.

Note to professors and administrators at Trinity (and tons of other elite Northeastern colleges), your students have more money and social status than you ever will and even if they drink their way to squeaking to graduation with a 2.0, will still be in a better job and have a nicer house, car and summer home than you ever had a prayer of having. Get over it.

The paragraph after the scapegoat comment. I can see your point though, though one of the comments struck me really poorly considering how long Psi U has been coed and the fact that at least recently we had a woman executive council member.

Ah, I missed that somehow. Thanks.

Yeah, while I think he has a valid point, I can see how, in the context of him saying it as a Psi U, you found it troubling.
