Diamondback columnist defends Greek life

In today’s Diamondback, Maryland student Andrew Steinberg defends the reputations of the campus’s sororities and fraternities, writing, “The American Collegiate Fraternity System — commonly known as “Greek life” — is more than 234 years old. And, as recent news at our university has revealed, fraternities and sororities — just as other institutions — have their faults, weaknesses and rotten apples. But these recent blemishes have been the result of poor direction and senseless judgment rather than fraternity and sorority life’s underlying principles.”

And he’s right– actions of one Greek house do not necessarily reflect other houses on campus.
