consider letting students decide the
social policy to be a viable option,
particularly on the issue of drink
ing in the houses.
“Why not let students choose?”
he said. “It’s an area where it’s very
hard for students to choose any
thing other than the trend, the
norm. The peer pressure is just
enormous.”
Ray and IFC Vice President for
Leadership Education Jonah Lee
said at meetings they attended
with administrators in January and
February, going dry was on every
one’s mind but it was never men
tioned directly. Student leaders
tried to get a copy of the proposal,
but they were told it was an “oral
proposal,” Ray said. They received
a copy of it the day before it was
approved, she said.
Students raised their concerns
about the proposed changes with
Frohnmayer at a meeting of the
Associated Students Presidential
Advisory Council in early May.
With the help of ASUO, on May
14 they started a student calling
campaign to the president’s office
asking him to postpone signing
the proposal.
“We didn’t ask him not to sign
it,” Ray said. “We asked him to wait
for more consideration of student
voices.”
Three days after the calling cam
paign began, Frohnmayer approved
the proposal.
He said he decided to approve it
despite student concerns because
the greek social policy is a serious
issue involving more people than
just students.
“We’re not going to sit on our
hands while there are tragedies
waiting to happen,” he said.
After the president’s decision
was announced, Ray said IFC and
Panhellenic leaders received a let
ter notifying them of the deadlines
Deadlines for new greekstandards
Sept. 1: Chapter house corporations required to submit a letter of intent showing
they will comply With the new standards by Decemner
Dec. 15: Chapters that have not submitted a written agreement by this date will
lose University affiliation and a letter will be sent to the chapter’s national
organization asking that the house’s charter he revoked.
Chapters will he evaluated to check their progress six months and one year after
the new standards take effect.
Chapters that have not met the standards at the six-month checkpoint will be
placed on endorsement probation and w$ lose affiliation if not in compliance by
the next evaluation.
greek chapters would have to
meet in order to maintain Univer
sity affiliation. Since then, they
haven’t met with, or heard from,
administrators.
“Everything has been so vague
and they’re leaving it to us to have
jurisdiction over it,” she said.
Greek chapters are required to
submit a written agreement by
Sept. 1 showing that they will com
ply with the new standards by De
cember. If the administration does
not receive that agreement by Dec.
15, the chapter will lose University
affiliation and the president will
write a letter to the chapter’s na
tional organization asking that the
house’s charter be revoked.
Lobisser said chapters that do
sign will be evaluated to check
their six-month and 12-month
progress, in effect giving them a
year to comply with the new stan
dards. Chapters will be judged ac
cording to nonsubjective, specific
standards and some leeway will be
given to chapters working to
change, he said. Administrators un
derstand, for example, that chap
ters with low GPAs may not be able
to raise them to the University over
all average quickly, he said.
“You must make steady
progress,” he said. “If (the average
GPA) is moving up, you’re making
progress and you’re in compliance.”
The standards are so new that
specific endorsement requirements
haven’t been put in writing yet, Lo
bisser said. With only two weeks
left in the term and most greek stu
dent leaders gone for the summer,
Ray and Lee said they need more
time and more concrete definitions
of what constitutes progress to
work with.
“Progression is the vaguest term
you can use,” Ray said. “We need
some things on paper.”
They want to know exactly how
much chapter GPAs will need to
go up for them to be in compli
ance. They wonder how the Uni
versity will be able to accurately
evaluate more subjective areas
such as the contribution a chapter
makes to the community.
“These are the kinds of things
that should have been considered
before this decision was made,”
Ray said.
While any large organization has
problems, Lee said the greek sys
tem is not in the state of crisis it’s
been portrayed to be in.
“It feels very much blown out of
proportion,” he said.
Ray said the new standards seem
to be aimed less at finding a realis
tic solution to problems than at im
proving the University’s image.
“I feel like decisions were made
on the basis of what looks good,”
she said. “It looks good that we’re
going to go dry. ... But it’s going to
take us a while to get there. ”
