Fraternities

I urge you, President Tilghman, do not attempt to fill our pails. Allow us to light our own fires, and work with us to ensure that we do not inadvertently set something else ablaze.

University officials formally discussed the findings of the Working Group on Campus Social and Residential Life at the Council on the Princeton University Community meeting on Monday.
