The preliminary report of the U2K committee, a group
charged with proposing reforms to the College's Greek system, is
available for review by members of the campus community.
U2K was formed in the fall of 1998 to prepare for the
transition to sophomore rush and to propose “a set of reforms that
would preserve the traditions of Greek life that are consistent with an
academic community that values open inquiry, seriousness of purpose,
diversity of opinion, and a broad and equitable choice of residential and
social options,” according to the report.
The 13-member steering committee consists of students,
faculty, staff and alumni. Members of the steering committee formed and
chaired five subcommittees that considered housing, social life, rush,
student-faculty relations, and pledging.
Recommendations in the report remain open for
discussion, and “nothing in the .. report is necessarily going to be
recommended … to the President,” it continued. “We share (the
report) at this time in an effort to invite intelligent discourse from
students, faculty, alumni and staff as we move forward.”
