As a Seattle native who attends WSU and is a member of the Greek system, I feel like I have the odds stacked against me. But it seems that every time something happens on this campus, it's the top news story. What some people seem to neglect is the fact that both WSU and the Greek system serve a purpose. In defense of the Greek system, many people find comfort in joining.
Some people join because they feel they have something to offer their chapters.
Others joined because they wanted to see what it would be like. I joined because I felt my house had women who enjoyed life and made school fun. For whatever reason people join, when one chapter in the Greek system goes through something, the entire Greek system is scarred. I find it no coincidence that the almost riot in March 2000 was breaking news in Seattle. KCPQ-13 did a expose on drug use at this school on Apple Cup weekend.
