[Georgetown] Greeks Exclude by Class

[tcsparky]

That was such a poorly written piece, I am surprised the editor of a prestigious university would have allowed that to be published in their paper. Shoddy journalism, bad fact checking......perhaps she should have written it entirely "in my opinion....." but even then, the lack of fact checking would have been an egregious error. The readers, however, are straightening everything out!

I feel like so many campus papers are almost reflexive in their anti-Greek stance.

I really enjoyed your rebuttal, Sen.

Ironically, she fails to point out--or may not even realize--that dues at schools like
Georgetown, and most of their peer institutions, are far less than they tend to be at large public schools. $700 may sound like a large sum (and is it really when you're paying all or part of a $60k annual bill for tuition, room, and board?), but they can be much higher.

Thank you.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, Georgetown meets full financial need. I know that I had enough money from my refund check back in the late 90s to cover sorority membership TODAY, if I was a woman of course.
