“I’m surprised it’s taken the Greek life so long to increase on campus. In a way, it forces students to interact with each other in a campus that is so spread out.” Stephany Martinez, fourth-year, Porter, Politics

"I definitely think it is important. Whatever they specialize in or their interests are, they cater to the community. Students want to take part in those types of communities.” Victor Dane III, Third-year, Cowell, Physical anthropology.

“I feel like it’s good for those who want to be part of a community. Some fraternities and sororities do hazing, but others don’t. I would say they are accepting of everyone.” Gabriella Soc, fourth-year, College Eight, Psychology.

“I think it’s great that more people are involved in bigger Greek clubs. Its a beneficiary system.” Ian Holl, Third-year, Cowell, biology and environmental studies.

Frats and Sororities should be accepted along with all other clubs and organizations. I just don’t want to see them liberalized because they don’t accept everyone at all times. In a perfect world everyone would be accepting but they have the freedom not to be. I know this comes off bad but there are organizations on this campus that are deemed inclusive and aren’t but are tolerated because of liberal affiliations. We have an African American Sorority on campus but if there were to be a white sorority people would call out in outrage. Just saying.

Frats need to open up NOW.
