[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Indiana U just closed down the Greek System. Probably all of the big schools should do this.[/quote]

The school doesn't have the authority to shut down the houses because they don't own them. There are 40 different houses and yesterday 30 of them had outbreaks.

[quote]Based on an increasingly alarming rate of positive test results from continued COVID-19 mitigation testing, IU Bloomington and its public health experts believe Greek houses are not safe given the pandemic conditions and the current spread of COVID-19.

With mitigation testing positivity rates in some houses now above 50%, the university advises all students living in these environments to re-evaluate their current living situation.

Given the Greek housing structure, avoiding close contact with residents who may carry the virus is virtually impossible. Dorms are not seeing the level of positivity rates that are being found in Greek houses.

Greek houses are owned and operated by their respective housing corporation, landlord or parent organization. This means IU Bloomington does not have authority to operate or manage these privately-owned residences.

IU expects the national organizations and housing corporations to work directly with students to make decisions about their living environment and find alternate arrangements.

I hope that there really are no long-term consequences to getting COVID19 and that a second infection isn't worse than the first, because tens of thousands of people in the prime of their lives are getting infected.[/quote]
