Nationwide campus opinions vary
Greek system not
as popular
by United Press International
The college fraternity system,
an institution as old at the United
States and as new as an incoming
freshman, is no longer the sickly
anachronism some said it was a
few years ago. 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. This appears attribut-

able to an inherent lack of control
by the national societies over
their chapters.
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.
