Maybe in terms of including them as potential members in a focus group which

This is as offensive to me as it might be if my alma mater were to create an NPHC task force and allow non NPHC folks to staff the task force and make recommendations to the college regarding groups they're not members of, nor privy to the operations of.
I know full well that while I say that, I really don't know anything about Babson, so who am I to say how they should run their business.... nevertheless, I find this offensive.
When we say "task force," I'm not picturing a group where folks are simply weighing in on things and throwing in their uninformed/mostly worthless two cents, I'm picturing a committee which is going to adopt some meaty proposals, otherwise they wouldn't be shutting greek life down for a semester.
I pulled up the #s on Greek Life at Babson. It's a small campus in the 3,300 undergraduate range. 15% of men are Greek, 25% of women are Greek. I can see how those numbers might produce friction.
The memo is just to vague to see where the student life director is coming from, but if this is one of those hippy dippy Greek Life is antithetical to inclusiveness and diversity sorts of arguments, I'll not be very impressed with this move.
