LeNorman Strong and the RPI "Greek Life Task Force" have apparently pushed to ban rush and recruitment at all Greek Life organizations for at least the fall semester. This will deprive incoming and current students of valuable relationships and can threaten the financial security of fraternities and sororities. It is not fair to punish all fraternities for the actions of a few.

Update 6/20/18:

As of an email sent to the RPI community today, LeNorman Strong has confirmed that Fall Rush for Greek Life has been suspended. This is despite his knowledge of opposition, including this petition.

Update 6/26/18:

We may be part of the reason that the Fall Rush ban has been partially lifted. This modification is a step in the right direction. Quote: "Based on my conversations and the recommendations I received, combined with our analysis and consideration of additional information, I have modified my original restriction on rush activities. All rush, recruitment, and intake efforts will be paused from Saturday, August 18 to Thursday, October 18, as opposed to the full fall semester."
