Yes, I mentioned that Greek organizations contribute on campus. But I have also seen the extreme downside as well. I was an Ohio State student and we had many many student run philanthropic organizations outside of the Greek system. As a I stated before, I am not condemning all of you based on this incident alone.

I am simply of the opinion, that on a whole, Greek life has detracted from the positive experience of campus more than it has contributed. We all see cop cars and scores of dangerously intoxicated youths streaming out of Greek houses on Thursday nights.

Also, you say that the Greeks help our campus the most….It’s a difficult statement to quantify. At other Universities- board of Trustees meetings are high in attendance. Where were the Greeks when they almost raised tuition? Are they ever there? I go to the meetings regularly and have yet to see much of any students there. (Greek or non-Greek.)

We have stale atmosphere here on campus. I happen to think the extreme emphasis on meaningless social hierarchies robs this campus of the impetus to do even more. Greeks have a part, but they are over emphasized here. Again, it’s difficult to quantify either of our opinions…so I suppose we could agree to disagree.
