I would like to point out that the letter in question came from the Faculty Senate and I do agree that the administration at the University of Alabama has a great interest in the diversification of GLO's. I am not certain, however, how keen the interest in diversification is among the GLO members themselves, and therein lies the rub. I also have the feeling that those GLO's are not particularly interested in being told how to run their organizations by those outside of them.
Mr. Baldwin was incorrect on one point, however. He states that preference is given to legacies. The policy of many NPC organizations is to invite their legacies back to one invitational party - some are not required to even do that. After that, anything goes and the sororities may cut whomever they wish to cut. In addition, I believe that, while many sororities DO require a recommendation in order to offer a bid, they procure those recommendations when they need them. Do either of these things give someone an advantage? Maybe, but then, maybe not.
James, I agree that it is odd that the Faculty Senate would say that legacies and recommendations should not be considered for admission to a GLO, when they most certainly are considered for admission to the University of Alabama.
