It hasn’t been a very good month for the Greek system. On Monday, the University of Virginia suspended its fraternities in the wake of a Rolling Stone investigation into sexual assaults on that campus. Locally, a 20-year-old man was found dead at a UC Berkeley fraternity house after a party there earlier this month. We’ll discuss these incidents and look at the role of Greek culture on campus. Is the system to blame, or is it being unfairly targeted for broader societal problems?
