I am all about broadening the spectrum of experiences that will come with SCAD, but this isn't one of them. Networking, bonding and volunteering can be done without Greek Life. It's a bit humorous that it's gotten to go this far, that we need a petition. This coming from an older freshmen, let's keep it out.

On a purely practical level, funding Greek life is impossible for scad. Scad can't even afford to manage all it's campuses at the moment. The city of Savannah would never tolerate the debauchery that Greek life brings. Students claiming they want it because they want to volunteer in the community can join SCAD: Serve. If they aren't willing to do that, then they are not honest and can't be trusted with with responsibilities of Greek life and would only cost SCAD, and the student body immensely in money and difficulties

SCAD is it's own fraternity because we are all in the same art community. There is no need for Greek life on campus.

One of the huge contributing factors to my decision in coming to scad was the fact that there is no Greek life. I do not want this kind of environment in SCAD.

Pretty much every study done, ever, says that Greek organizations hurt students academically and impair them socially (eg -- promotes a sense of entitlement). SCAD is supposed to be professional, isn't it? Greek Life is the opposite of that.

Fraternities do not promote a strong sense of community outside of the circle of the fraternity. Rivalries between fraternities are very common at colleges that feature them, which only serves to create unnecessary drama

There's no point. We have plenty of social groups that cater to plenty of different types of people.

If you don't want greek life then don't participate, either way I guess yall won this vote. Lameee
