But they will be involved in an event that isn't as appealing as it could be. Instead of uniting the campus, the bike race involves only a part of the student body - those in greek chapters. Greek chapters support 13 of this year's 14 teams. The 14th team, from South Quad, also includes greek students. It's difficult to support a team.
Riding requires time management and a willingness to train for most of the year.
It also takes money. With a structure in place to provide all of the above, greek chapters can easily support a team. In order to truly the unite campus, the Little 5 Steering Committee needs to make it easier for non-greek students to organize teams. Perhaps they can lower the registration fee. Perhaps Little 5 should provide these resources for greek riders, as well.
