Nothing will change unless everyone comes out. Greek students comprised most of the protestors. They believe they were unfairly shut out of the decision-making process when the University decided to take away fall rush. DePauw's Interfraternity and Panhellenic Councils issued a statement yesterday following the protest to clarify their position. While the Councils were not involved in organizing the student protest, senior Allison Bell, Panhellenic president, said she sympathized with many of the students in attendance.
Students remain positive Some freshmen also attended the protest.
They cited a lack of social outlets at DePauw in their first semester. Freshman John Ahlers said he was concerned over deferred rush, but had hoped the protest had been better organized. It wasn't very dedicated to the cause, because everybody left. Ahlers said his feeling is typical of most freshmen. There is nothing to do.
