Unintended consequences
Probably 50 years ago, all of the chapters jumped when the Univ. - led by Greek alums school pres. and dean of students, and a Board of Trustees (with 12 of the 14 members GLO alumni) - said we have some extra land near the campus, and the state has approved a few mil for student housing - PRESTO - we'll build 18 chapter houses, all near alike, on this horse-shoe shaped street. We'll even send over a cleaning crew every Monday and Friday, and do the big repairs during the summer. You'll luv it.
Now, 50 years later, there's only liberals from anti- and non-fraternity schools in the administration bldg., and this horsehoe drive with lots of grass and a few problem GLOs might be a good spot for the new Enviromental Studies Dept. Bldg. The GLOs are in no position to move or improve their situation. If the administration says pay this employee of our $15,000, what can you do. It's called Unintended consequences.
Also, remember last year when the U MD freshmen athletes were hazed (forced to dress up as tampons, as I remember), the administration CRACKED THE WHIP, suspending the varsity players from all games (during the off season).
