We must look into making multicultural studies a requirement for graduation. This statement is not meant to discourage greek affiliates or to call for the dismantling of the greek system, but rather to inspire and encourage greek members to be part of the pioneering force that will break this unhealthy tradition. For most students, not being in a greek chapter requires extra toughness. It seems as if every student must be a greek member to have a healthy social life at DePauw. Let's not forget the plight of exchange students.
Every generation has a moral assignment.
I am hopeful that our generation is concerned about America's racist heritage. As members of the same species, we need to step out of our comfort zones and be part of the solution. Some students might recline in their comfortable seats of denial and apathy, but those of us who care must act now in our bid to overcome what we should have overcome long ago. In conclusion, I challenge all students to join me and others in, peacefully and constructively, burying DePauw's share of segregation. As students we cannot afford to conform to this tradition.
