Im actually not a Denison prospective or anything but I am going to a very, very, very similar(but much nicer :)) LAC (DePauw University) in the fall. Since our schools seem to be following the same paths to work their way up from the bottom 25 of the top tier to the top 25, I just wanted to ask a few questions about whats going on at Denison. DePauw is known as a party school (and i love it that way) but the administration seems to be taking the Denison route in destroying the #1 ranked greek scene and seriously cutting down on partying in general. I just wanted to know what were some of the steps that Denison went through as it downsized its one thriving social scene, what were some of the signs that it was coming. Also, what is Denison doing to continue to destroy the social scene. I was once a Denison prospective but decided against it because of the lack of a real social scene, among other things, and I am just looking for some of the warning signs so I can at least try to organize some kind of student protest when I see something coming…
