Neither is it as robust as it once was. Opinions of the collegiate Greek system vary widely. Those not a part of it generally take a dim view of it. Those involved in it like it fine. For example: •Meghan O'Brien, a 1982 Brown University graduate and president of the Alpha Chi Ome ga sorority chapter there, said outsiders think the Greek system is "old-fashioned, reactionary." •A sophomore at Muncie, Ind.'s Ball State University who asked not to be named: "When I think of fraternities, I think of soap operas. They're both a waste of time. There are much more important things to do at college." A UPI survey of fraternities and sororities on the nation's col lege campuses shows the num bers are encouraging for the fraternity fans. But problems of discrimination and hazing remain at some schools as well as rowdyism and vandalism.

However, there are strong arguments to indicate a majority of the Greek societies are rela tively sedate and provide be nefits to their members and schools. These include handling room and board for a portion of the student body, encouraging alumni support and charitable, philanthropic and community activities. Figures supplied by the Na tional Interfraternity Council show about 5,000 chapters of 59 national fraternities, with an av erage chapter size of 50 men. The National Panhellenic Con ference, the governing body of the 26 national sororities, claims more than 2 million members — both current college students and alumni. Half of them, chair man Mary Barbee said, have joined in the last 20 years. The PHC claims nearly 2,500 active chapters of about 50 women apiece. "We are seeing a measured growth, certainly not a resurg ence," reported Ronald Bristow, assistant vice chancellor for stu dent services at the State Univer sity of New York at Albany. Mark Smith, dean of students at Eckert College in Ft. Lauder dale, Fla., said the growth might be attributed to a growing num ber of two-year colleges turning into four-year institutions, whose social organizations affili ate with national fraternities. But Mike Wiener, a former ex ecutive director of Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity, said the num ber of students in all colleges is down, indicating growing, not diminishing Greek strength. Part of the reason a fix is so difficult to get on the subject is that there really is no such thing as a coherent fraternity "sys tem." It is much like a franchise, with independent chapters of a national organization, which provides a standard product — in a fraternity's case, name, ritual, purpose, executive training. But unlike franchise opera tions, there is no close watch over use of the product. Fraternities and sororities have gone through many changes in the last 20 years, just as the society they represent has evolved. They are by their very nature selective organizations. With the advent of the civil rights move ment, that selectivity was seen — often with good reason — as dis criminatory. Jews were not wel come in many. Catholics in others and blacks were excluded from nearly all, if not by policy then by practice. While the NIC no longer allows its member fraternities to discriminate, such practices by chapters are hard to pinpoint, particularly since member selec tion is done in secret. A similar problem exists with hazing. Although no national fraternity or sorority tolerates the practice, the line between hazing and high-spirited good times can become unclear, occasionally with tragic results. It is that lack of control that seems to concern some college administrators. A college surren ders some of its control over a student in the Greek system, control it might occasionally like to retain — particularly on the morning after a big night before.
