Not liking something does not make you bigoted. It probably makes you enlightened.

Now most guys want girls to have tattoos on their lower backs but a lot of times it just works out that you don't marry that girl. Know what I mean, g? Like if she had "princess" in old english letters right on her butt, you know what it means. 'Naw mean?

I'm totally lost by this entire story.

What is a program house. Why do people have to live on campus/why is the school not allowing poeple to live off campus.

Why is DKE going coed and Beta not? How is Beta not affiliated with the college?

Coramoor - a program house is like a fraternity house only it's revolving around a common interest (like maybe French majors or something) and is coed. If it's a private college (which it is) they can have a rule that everyone has to live on campus for all 4 or however many years.

Well, this little tear love jerker is getting to friggen much for me!

Not sure if an egg crate or soap box someone is standing on?

Repeating the news that is put on Cyber Space is fine. Eye catching may be Tabaloid, but the stories are true in the info passed on.

Maybe I should start posting them along with TSSteven, exlurker and take the heat of of Hoosier.

OKAY, HOOSIER is a dick! Make everyone Happy!!!!!!

Tra La, Tra La, fuddy duddy do wop wop!

Why would the frats there even live in a program house if that was the case? Was it originally built for the frats or did they decide to sort of take it over?

Why don't they just build their own house so the college has no say?

My understanding is that Wesleyan has a *new* program housing rule that has forced Psi Upsilon and Delta Kappa Epsilon to change their previous policies. (Got that from the very first sentence of the original post.) As such it seems like the fraternities were there "first" but *now* must abide by university policy if they want to remain on-campus.

As to why they just don't build their own house, my guess is that it has to do with the lack of finances to do so.

According to the reading I've done, 45 students from the school will be granted permission to live off campus, therefore, if they get an off campus house, they would have to pay their room and board to Wesleyan AND pay for their house, since they probably won't get permission to live off campus.

NebraskaDelt · #9 05-06-2005, 11:34 AM

That's fine that the university wants to secure the entire on-campus living to ensure that all rooms are full, but they shouldn't force the fraternities to recruit people to live in the dorm, house, whatever it is.

If students want, they could sign up to live there and be chosen through a lottery like every other college. Or if no one signs up, they can force people to live there by luck of the draw. If they don't want to live near fraternity members, they can move off campus.

It always seems schools want to do things the hard way that goes and makes everyone upset or uncomfortable.

Of course it doesn't. I don't like tatoos or smoking either. But I don't label anyone who has a tatoo an idiot -- unless of course the tatoo in question leaves no reasonable doubt of idiocy.

What indicates bigotry is statement suggesting that people should be judged "idiots" based on single aspects of their entire personality, such as whether they smoke or have tatoos.

PsychTau2 · #11 05-06-2005, 12:53 PM

First...Like NebraskaDelt said, why is DKE and Psi U FORCED to find females to live in? What if they are willing to accept females, and no one applies? Is that their fault?

Second...forcing females to live in a fraternity house could very well bring up "auxillary organization" problems.

and a bonus thought...ONE female living in a fraternity house kinda looks bad, don't ya think? Hopefully these DKE members will be gentlemen, but one female in a fraternity house of all males might be more liability than it's worth.

Do people really use that word as a legitimate descriptor nowadays, or are these people just trying to be funny?

Then why is Beta not having to abide by the new rules? Do they have their own house and pay for that and also pay for the on campus living costs?

At the rate the girls are shrinking lately, all that's going to be left is the R and an amorphous squiggle.
