All that being said, the Alabama Greek community is the most backward in the country and needs to get with the 21st century.

Katie Smith, the student senator who drafted the earlier resolution, felt it was because of pressure from the Machine that her bill to integrate Greeks failed in March.

The new bill's language was left unadjusted and passed Thursday "with an overwhelming number of votes on the floor," the Crimson White reported.

It doesn't require any immediate action by the university or Greek houses, rather, it simply voices support for the goal of integration.
