additions to greek life

You are stupid, alpha xi delta is returning to michigan state this fall. so new sorority for everyone to enjoy

Tri Delta was at MSU for many years and was a strong, middle tier-type house. Not sure when they left (1992?) or why. They had been established at MSU since 1948. Their house was on the corner of M.A.C. & Burcham, I believe. Not sure what is there now. I know Tri Delta is very strong at southern universities. Too bad they don't have a presence anymore at State. Btw, I'm an MSU/Theta alum.

Fraternities have less internal older adult supervision/management than sororities, which may account for their more frequent closures/troubles. Sororities tend to have better alumni support/supervision, as well.

You really dont know greek, their are a number of fraternities at MSU that are particularly stable and have generous alumni support

^I was making a generalization - note the word "tend." ;) I never stated unequivocally that ALL fraternities have management issues. Obviously, SOME, perhaps the majority, have stable houses. ;) Haven't done a scientific study on the current group of fraternities at MSU. ;) In fact, I hope they all are doing well. I do, however, stand by my statement. A handful of fraternities have been suspended or closed at MSU over the past 30 years, most due to the lack of ability to manage their members' behavior, or their finances. Very, very few sororities have left campus in that same time frame. Perhaps the success of MSU sororities has to do with the house mother system, and maybe the fraternity issues have more to do with the fact that fraternities tend (there's that unscientific word again!) to attract guys who would rather party than achieve academically. That is the fraternity reputation at MSU, and at many universities, to be honest. Lack of focus on academics is why most universities hate the greek system. More trouble than they are worth with little enhancement to the university's reputation. It is why Vassar College has never allowed a greek system. In fact, at most elite universities, the greek system is quite small.

Also-- are you really in college? You used the wrong form of "there." ;)

Yeah, co ops are the worst. They attract low-lifes to East Lansing. Those buildings would be better used for the Greek system. Or at the very least, apartments where actual students could live, not these ridiculous hippies.
