[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If someone is going to get involved with [b]exclusionary organizations[/b] that will leave a certain percentage of people shut out, they need to be prepared to be that shut out person. Colleges that allow this stuff need to make sure there are places for everyone and that social life doesn't revolve around it.

Who gets to decide what "tier" a sorority is? And why would a sorority be concerned with anyone shallow enough to rank them? Does the dean not say hello to you if you're at the bottom of the sorority heap? Just do your thing and let other sororities do theirs.

Initiations and hazing sound so brutal and childish. I would hope college age people would be above it.[/quote]
What world do you live in? Life is exclusionary. [/quote]

It's the job of college administrators to foster an inclusive environment on campus, and that means not allowing fraternities and soririties to have undue control over campus life, which creates in groups and out groups. People shouldn't feel like second class citizens at college [/quote]

No, it’s actually not. It’s the job of college administrators to see that your student gets an education. Whether or not they choose to participate in Greek life is up to them. [/quote]

Frankly, I don’t see why any university allows “Greek” life. It’s got absolutely nothing to do with education.[/quote]

By this argument there should be any non-academic clubs. A capella groups can be pretty cutthroat to join at some colleges, should they be allowed?[/quote]

A capella is based on talent. Let me guess what talent sorority girls possess…[/quote]

That's uncalled for. Did you know that at U Mich girls who are in sororities have higher GPAs that those who aren't?  Just throwing that out there as a bit of a counterpoint to your crass implication. [/quote]

No doubt

When I was at Umich, the Greeks had extensive test banks and other interventions to help their grades.

That is one of the advantages to this sort of group. But don't think it's just because they are naturally brilliant compared to non Greek.

Where are you getting your intel? Van Wilder? Animal House? It's 2025, cabinets full of xeroxed blue books do not exist.

This thread has jumped the shark. The bored teenagers with no social life and a chip on their shoulder have arrived! [/quote]
