Want to be a Member?
By Marcia Yablon | October 7, 1999According to the Bible, in the beginning God brought every living creature to Adam and whatever Adam called it, "that was the name thereof." Apparently, God gave this power to the Trustees too. Last winter when the new Residential Life initiative was announced there was a lot of name calling on both sides, but one of the names flung repeatedly from the Trustee side was "exclusive." Ironically, it was only after they called the Greek system exclusive that it became dramatically so. This year's sorority rush is over and although most girls who wanted to join a house are now members; over 50 are not.
