This guy wants to eliminate Greeks at Texas Tech...
If you are at Texas Tech, there is someone running for the student body president who is using an anti-Greek platform as his focus. Please post this on your GLO forum. A friend in Lubbock sent this to me.
"Look what I just found online in the student newspaper at Texas
Tech!!
Philip Pride
CLASSIFICATION: Junior
MAJOR: Latin American and Iberian studies
HOMETOWN: Alice
DESIRED POSITION: SGA President
PLATFORM: Philip Pride is campaigning to create social equality
within the student body by eliminating the Greek system."

What a loser.
By alienating the Greek system, he's losing a lot of votes.
I don't think he stands a chance.

Anybody who thinks that "social equality" is possible is, at best, delusional.

social equality? Hasn't he been paying attention in history class? Communism and socialism look pretty on paper, but they don't work in real life.
And ummm, the Greek System at Tech is pretty decent... I'm guessing if it is anything like my UG, the majority of voter turnout are the Greeks. And if eliminating the Greek System is the primary goal of his platform, he has missed much larger social issues relevant to the student body and their needs.
So... uhh good luck.

Even if he did win, I'm not so sure a student body president with that agenda could do anything. Generally speaking, the student legislative bodies are absolutely dominated by Greeks.
If anything, if Tech has procedures for impeachment, he'd be a likely candidate.

LOL what a freak!
I don't know about Texas Tech, but I'm on the elections committee at my school and a huge percentage of the vote comes from greek organizations. He doesn't stand a chance.

Yep. Everybody knows that the greeks are the ones who are involved on campus and actually care about who is representing them in the student government. I'm on SGA actually, and I had the second highest number of votes for council position, due to my campaigning within the greek community. At my school, greeks dominate the ballots more than non-greeks.
