Greeks Stepping Up

The Daily Californian is reporting what many in Cal’s Greek system have been predicting for some time: a significant increase in its recruitment of new members. Fraternity recruitment is up 14%, and sorority recruitment, currently being capped, has continued to hit its quota consistently.

Ironically, this feature article was run the day after IFC’s motivational speaker came to Wheeler Hall. The program, run by a man who could play a stunt double for a walrus, was preaching some of the improvements needing to be made by Cal’s Greek community. The effectiveness of the presentation was, to say the least, minimized. It's hard to concentrate on a speaker when pondering how much alcohol could have been purchased for his $2700 fee.

While the Cal Greek system isn’t perfect, it sure hasn’t hit the levels of some other major universities, and considering the relatively good record of community recently, it may be time for the administration to once again examine its policies regarding the future of Greek life on campus.
