Could not agree more with @kalons. Even if there are 2000 students in Greek Life, there are 5000-6000 who are not. Imagine that! People actually graduate from a school without ever participating in Greek life! A lot of them.

The school is calling for a “time out.” Some bad things have happened–not just one thing led to this decision. The school is looking to “enact a culture change” before more bad things happen and they have to eliminate Greek Life. Right now, the plan is no alcohol (boo hoo–get over it) and no recruitment. Fraternities and sororities are free to continue philanthropic work and have social events without alcohol. If that means the end of someone’s social life, that is just sad.

And @joedoe how can you say “My time at RPI would have been extremely miserable without my fraternity”? You have dozens, maybe hundreds of posts about how awesome your experiences at RPI have been. Now it is all about the Greek life? That is shocking to read.
