-------- Quote from the story ^^; according to the story, Paul Wright is a UVA alumnus and a Chi Psi; he serves on his fraternity’s national board. |
Alumni, faculty members, and students are ALREADY calling for a ban on fraternities at UVA. Mothers of young men are chiming into the chorus as they don't want their sons in this kind of environment. I agree that if they can't find a way to get it right, their days will be numbered.
What has been revealed at UVA is also rippling across the country. I talked with a cousin in Florida yesterday who said that a very common discussion topic there are very similar events which are happening in Florida schools.
IMO the Greek community can't afford to fail to take this very seriously indeed.
