Greeks criticize new alcohol policy
Despite administrators' claims that the revised alcohol policy is not designed to specifically target the Greek system -- and that it was crafted with input from Greek leaders -- fraternity social chairs criticized the newly-implemented code for complicating their jobs without producing any foreseeable benefits for either their houses or the people who attend their parties. The policy has been widely heralded by administrators as focusing on education, health and safety instead of punishment, but Greek leaders said the changes affect the logistics of holding parties more than anything else -- and that while they adequately accommodate smaller groups wishing to hold parties, they penalize Greek organizations. "The Greek system is definitely going to bear the brunt of any potential downsides of the changes," Psi Upsilon fraternity social chair Ted Knudsen '04 said.
