Greek Week No-Show Fiasco
Well, this was a killer idea.
I’m sorry, that pun was way out of line.
For those of you not in the know about Murray State University, we’ve had quite a scandal as of late. Seems as a person in another fraternity on campus decided to drive while under the influence of intoxication on Friday night. In doing so, he killed the mother of a person who was a friend with lots of my friends. It’s rocked the fiber of our being down here at Murray. Just shook everything up.

That sums it all up, pretty succintly.

A little more detail.
Well, this year was supposed to be a time of renewal in the Greek Community here at Murray State. Since the beginning of this year, more greek organizations have gotten into trouble than years past. The local chapter of Sigma Sigma Sigma has been suspended due to hazing allegations. Events that have been planned have been busted. It’s just been a real mess. This entire week was supposed to be about the uplifting of the entire system. From racernet:
GREEK WEEK 2005!!!
GREEK WEEK 2005 kicks off Saturday, November 12th at Stewart Stadium. Greeks will be recognized at halftime. Please participate in the SGA Chili Cook-off! Monday, November 14th, Transparent will be live in concert at Lovett 7:00; there will be a raffle during intermissions. Tuesday and Friday are designated Greek Letter Shirt Days. Wednesday there will be the Greek Banner Competition. Thursday is the All Greek Thanksgiving Dinner in the Small Ballroom, Curris Center 5:30. Greek Penny Wars will take place Monday thru Thursday, 2nd floor of the Curris Center. All proceeds benefit the Nathan Ray Surgery Fund. Greek Week Champions will be announced at the dinner on Thursday, November 17th.
See? Lots to do. And because of the incident outlined in the links above, that is no more. All Greek activity has been suspended, and the campus couldn’t be in a more saddened mood.
Okay, class, have to go now, more later.

Yeah, it’s a crock of shit. I haven’t been a member of the Greeks yet, but all this shit going on actually makes me not want to, ever. I know, that sounds terrible, but a lot of the Frats need to grow up, take responsibility and more.
Just wanted to make a comment on your greek week post. Greek week was canceled several days before this tragic accident even happend. It was due to poor organization and communication among the various greek governing organizations. I know this first hand b/c I sit on IFC. I don’t know where you are getting your info from…
