Gorloks go Greek

Additionally, there are already several fine organizations on campus that foster leadership, perhaps most notably SGA itself, though WebsterLEADS, Amnesty International and Peer Education Zeitgeist also come to mind. Though students are expected to maintain a certain level of academic achievement, these organizations do not segregate by sex, as Greek life does.
Furthermore, it is questionable how strong the bonds the young men of the new WU Delta Upsilon chapter could make, since unlike other fraternities, our chapter will not feature its own house and members will not live together. And though it has signed off on the idea of one or two fraternities or sororities, WU will not welcome a full-fledged Greek system, or so said Associate Vice President and Dean of Students Ted Hoef.
So it seems WU will never be destined to hold a network of fraternities and sororities as ivy-covered universities and state schools do. It seems almost pointless to have Greek life on a university like ours - but we do commend Murray and McWilliams for sparking interesting discussion and forcing us to analyze ourselves.
