Consider that Select 2000 was merely adopted by the University, but the standards were set by the national organizations of the greek chapters at SIUC who oppose the program. Because their leadership knows this effort would be futile. Based on their rush propaganda, I assumed that being greek had, in part, to do with setting and achieving high standards. I have worked with and respect many former members. However, it isn't the GPA or community standards current members oppose.
Freedom of choice exists.
If they don't want substance-free housing, don't be a part of the system. Mouthpieces will have us believe that they were not consulted prior to implementation. Since the University rarely does anything without publicity or privately taking a straw poll to gauge student reaction, I would not be surprised if there are meeting minutes somewhere in a file cabinet, which tell the real story. Finally, they do their membership and alumni a disservice by conducting ill-advised personal attacks on the administration and individual staff members in public. To air grievances publicly shows a lack of respect for a chain of command, not to mention respect for individual feelings, which is critical to problem solving in any organization.
