TO THE EDITOR:
There have been several recent events at UNC that have highlighted a major, yet rarely discussed issue.
The student body president election and vandalism of Greek houses have emphasized the growing divide between Greeks and the rest of campus.
I’m a member of a Greek organization, and I will be the first to admit that there are serious flaws with the Greek system at UNC.
I can understand how some non-Greek students may view Greek organizations in a negative light.
That being said, I do feel there is bias associated with Greek organizations.
I did not vote for Will Lindsey, but I believe that his campaign was forced into a “Greek vs. non-Greek” debate and away from important issues, due to his Greek affiliation.
The senseless vandalism perpetrated by the “anarchist” group was a hypocritical and general response to crimes carried out by specific individuals, not fraternities themselves.
I say this not to place blame, but to highlight the serious issue of the divide in our student body.
