[quote=Anonymous]I have no problem with the Greek houses going away, but it sounds like Stanford has thrown out the baby with the bath water. Labeling groups by only numbers and letters is dehumanizing. For those who didn’t read the article, I think the conclusion sums it nicely: We have so many words to describe the ways an institution can be problematic. It is easy to find faults, scrape crests off walls, and feel like you have done a good deed. But there are far fewer stock phrases to articulate what is lost when an organization is destroyed. There are no parties anymore. I want to live with my friends. It’s hard to name the pain of absence. An empty house is safe. A blank slate is fair. In the name of safety and fairness, Stanford destroyed everything that makes people enjoy college and life.[/quote]
