RPI GREEK LIFE DIRECTIONSOn April 12, 2006 RPI Dean of Students Office announced new policies and faced an uproar from alumni and undergraduates alike. Much work has been done to repair the damaged relations, but there is still quite and way to go. The AIGC website has a compilation of the efforts since the spring of 2006. In the fall of 2007 a new campus alcohol social policy was instituted which brough the IFC party policymore formally under the auspices of the Student Handbook. It is meant to keep some autonomy of control to the chapters, but also more stricly enforce and encourage less risky alcohol use and curb undrage drinking. For these reasons, our alumni weekend activities will be reviewed and better control of alcohol be put in place for controlled BYOB. A brief overview of the policy is in this promotional handout and details are at the AIGC website. Jerry Witter issued a summary report about the status of Greek Life at RPI and some views for potential more benficial relations for the school, alumni, and undergraduates for Greek Life and the Undergraduate Plan by which the school is moving along.. |
