Time and again the University refused to listen to students on this matter. Student leaders both involved and un-involved with Greek life insisted this was an integral part of the Princeton social scene- or at the very least a matter that didn't affect them at all. If the University was truly interested in showing they cared at all for student opinions then they should have instituted no-tolerance penalties for instances of hazing. I will never donate a penny while Tilghman is in control of the University. She has repeatedly shown she doesn't care to listen to the opinions of the undergrads (and I say this as someone who worked closely on a number of social policies with University admins).
Fallout's gonna be a shitstorm.
I wasn't going to post anything, but the captcha was "shame." Feels fitting.
Still doesn't recognize greek life but can ban rush, IT MAKES NO SENSE TILGHMAN
if you think that by banning fraternities i am going to want to be friends with a wider group of people, you're moronic. being in a fraternity did not preclude me from being friends with people outside of it THAT I SHARED INTERESTS WITH. title or not, you're not accomplishing anything. i would have still had the same friends freshman year and done the same fraternity sophomore year (had this rule applied). i am really trying to understand what this is accomplishing. if you argue that it favors wealthier students, that is just a completely false. this board clearly did not look into how the fraternities and sororities work. of course people who cannot pay dues are helped out! tilghman & co., do you research or take a hike. sick of this.
Well now I guess everyone is going to be friends with everyone else. I'm so glad we have central planners telling us how to socialize.
What the fraternities/sororities should do is send out e-mails and letters to their alumni asking them not to donate to Princeton till the policy is changed. But to e-mail Princeton with how much they would of donated if the policy didn't exist.
In 1 month, stupid policy gone.
Don't worry everyone. The University has made sure to replace the relationships between freshmen and upperclassmen that frats and sororities can foster. A part of their plan is to have upperclassmen available in the residential colleges to socialize with freshmen...seems flawless
FURIOUS.
P.S. The captcha was "foolish." How appropriate.
hahaha my captcha was disgust. even the internet hates tilghman.
