If they don't want to have a culture of privilege and elitism, then they should probably relocate the college out of the Northeast...

Not all of the Northeast is wealthy, and not every school with a larger wealthy population is in the Northeast.

Not to mention, the area surrounding Trinity is very impoverished.

Again, not what I said. My comment was simply meant as a sarcastic suggestion for a way that the college could eliminate the elitist and privileged culture it is supposedly troubled with (obviously the school can't actually relocate). I never said that everyone in the Northeast was wealthy,but it is true that we have an above average number of college students who were born with the proverbial "silver spoon" and thus feel entitled to do whatever they want. In my personal opinion, this attitude has little to do with being a member of a fraternity or sorority and is more of a product of growing up in such a region, as I myself have often observed. Anyways, my main point was to echo what others have said in that the school's elimination of single sex GLOs is not an effective way of solving the alleged problem.
