A resolution that would have affirmed University of Alabama Student Government support for Greek integration didn't make it to a vote late last week, but stalled when it was sent to committee.
An email sent last week to the Dartmouth College listserve for campus-wide events reveals that five high level members of the school's Panhellenic Council intended to boycott this season's sorority rush because of "clear flaws" in the Greek recruitment process that "stratifies the Dartmouth community along race, class,…
On Monday, Sigma Alpha Epsilon was given the title of The Worst Frat In America, thanks to a Bloomberg piece that claims that the frat is responsible for more deaths of their members than any other frat in America.

At least one hetero undergrad at Smith College, a private, independent women's liberal arts college in Northampton, Massachusetts, feels "marginalized" because she's not a butch lesbo. The solution: an exclusive sorority for straight girls seeking boys, cupcakes, and Lily Pulitzer photoshoots.
