Yes there is division in the group, particularly on the large classes as the financial burden is major. We ended up with large classes because of poor planning by panhel yet again. Some fines were paid this year. The anger against how things are managed continues to simmer and the GPhi situation might just result in things boiling over. But I wouldn't bet on much being done about anything as nothing ever seems to change as the people elected to panhel are just there to maintain status quo and the advisors are incompetent. Its been written about elsewhere on here about the 'playing field' issues we deal with at Cal and while its not a unique issue, the fact is that demand exceeds supply for spots. Also, while it wasn't as bad as last year some people did panic and leave recruitment before pref and some even left at pref. Last years drop outs came back and so competition for sophomore/junior spots was quite intense. These strategies kill options for PNMs and frankly are bad for the system. We have the XO situation which is well discussed on here and at best can be called a 'work in progress'. By no means are they out of the woods as they have an awful national and now have to figure out how to work with that national and a new class of roughly 50 and retain the new class (no small feat given all the questionable things that have gone on at the house over the last year). In spite of all this we have some great houses and things continue to hum along. You just need to find your home and once you do things will settle in for you. I hope we don't lose more houses but it might just need to happen before things turn around. Good luck.
