It is no secret that Greek Life on campus has been tainted by scandal for quite some time now but it appears that things might be settling down, returning to normal, and moving forward.
As we reported here last week and as Student Judicial Services revealed on Wednesday Pi Kappa Alpha, Sigma Phi Epsilon, and Kappa Kappa Gamma have all been stripped of their houses on townhouse row effective this coming May. This ruling by SJS has left the future of GW Greek Life in uncertainty.
Today marks the last night of Spring Rush for IFC Fraternities on campus. Though neither Pi Kappa Alpha or Sigma Phi Epsilon were allowed to participate in this year's Spring Rush, GW's Fraternities are optimistic and looking forward.
This week's Spring Rush was very successful for many fraternities on campus with the first three nights seeing turnouts of upwards of thirty men for each fraternity, a very impressive number for Spring Rush especially considering the controversy in Greek Life and the inclement weather on Wednesday night.
IFC President Frank Gervasio says that the IFC is taking new measures right now to increase accountability for campus fraternities, including taking on a new self-governing system, and that all of the chapters participating in rush on campus are very enthusiastic and excited for this semester as well as optimistic for the future of GW Greek Life.
