worried

I can think of one very good reason as to why WVU would want Greek Life here: alumni funding/money. Like most schools with a long established Greek community, a significant portion of alumni funding comes from Greek alumni. They need that funding to prosper.

Also, they need Greeks to help promote the campus to future freshmen. An active Greek Life on campus can make or break a decision for freshmen looking to rush, especially if they grew up in the south or are legacies. If they lose alumni funding and the tuition from possible freshmen, the school would struggle and Greek Life would be back in no time. WVU knows this deep down. This happens at a lot of "Greek free" schools. There's also the issue of underground GLOs, which are unregulated by the university and therefore, open to all kinds of issues.

Like it or not, Greek Life is a major part of the college experience. Banning it would be a HUGE mistake and setback for WVU or any other university. What they need to do is establish better risk management education for ALL organizations instead of banning parties, socials, ect.

What needs to be done is definitely....
1. A very restrict risk management training that must be required every year for Greeks.
2. Strict disciplinary actions on any (IFC NPC, MGU. NHPC) that violate University and/or Greek Council policies, that would result in removal of recognition.
3. Chapter advisors must be assigned to every Greek Org. and a Greek Advisor Council must be established as well and meet at least 2x a month to discuss issues that are currently happening within each chapter(s).
4. Traveling consultants need to make spot checks, if possible on certain chapter(s) that maybe heading in the wrong direction.
5. IHQ need to make sure their chapter(s) are in compliance with National polices and financial status in good standing
6. ALL HOUSE PARTIES MUST BE REGISTERED WITH THE GREEK LIFE OFFICE AND CAMPUS SECURITY. Those That do not, I semester social suspension. 2nd violation, 1 full year of social suspension and recruitment.
These are just some of the items that need to happen going forward. I know these items seem tough, but it is the only to get the message across the Greek Community that the University is NOT going to stand for anymore uncontrolable behavior by Greeks. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!! And it Greeks do not like it, then leave the University. With 75 fraternities under the NIC and 26 Sororities under the NPC, I am sure a few Greeks not present at WVU would love to colonize and have not problem following the rules.
