Ban rush? I equate that to a doctor telling you that in order to take care of your ingrown toenail he will have to amputate your entire leg.

Greek Life is an important part of the culture at Rensselaer.

Greek life is important and teaches values to its members! Don't take it away

Banning rush and recruitment is the lazy way to deal with these problems. Step up and work the issue so innocent students and alumni don't get screwed.

RPI is doing a tremendous disservice to to their student population by halting rush for a semester. This could permanently kill membership for some chapters and deny students leadership opportunities and the chance to be part of something bigger than just themselves.

Come on, let's not loose our minds here. Greek life is an invaluable part of the college experience anyway you choose to associate with it.

Greek Life has improved and enriched the social and academic experiences of many RPI alumni, and has resulted in friendships that have lasted a lifetime. It would be unfair to punish the entire system for the unwise actions of a few.

The Greek System enriches the RPI experience for all.

Greek Life really adds so much toward a young student’s growth to adulthood that the school would be remiss in blocking access to that opportunity.

The SAJ administration has long held contempt for the Greek community and has increasingly been emboldened to take further actions to undermine the community. I no longer want any association with the institution as it clearly wants nothing to do with me and the people who supported me through a very difficult time.

Phi Gamma Delta, RPI 2007 I'm in a position where i'd like to begin donating to RPI, However its attitude towards Fraternities and students in general is abhorrent.

Greek life was an essential part of my RPI experience, that participation in athletics and other school organized groups did not fulfill. I doubt I would have remained at RPI if I hadn’t joined a fraternity. It can be a tough place without a strong personal network around you.
