This letter is in response to the article entitled: “NSU social Greek Community in a state of gridlock,” which was published in Issue 27 on April 10.
Your letter: After reading the article on the Greek community, I was perturbed. The Greeks on campus are visible, that is unless you walk around campus with your eyes closed. We eat lunch together in the UC pit daily. We wear T-shirts to promote our events. We have a closet full of lettered shirts and it’s hard to find something not Greek to wear.
I for one would like to know where you walk around not to see someone Greek. It’s almost impossible. When I first came to Nova it was all I saw — lettered shirts, hats, buttons, “Greek Rho” by the parking garage. It’s everywhere.
The author of that article was comparing Nova to FIU, well sorry Dean Gabriel Williams, Nova has a smaller undergrad population and we are a strong Greek community whether you see it or not. We are out there every day representing our organizations with pride and making a difference for our philanthropies.
I would like to thank you for making such ignorant remarks regarding the Greek community here on campus. In a weird way, you promoted us to band together and we all showed a common feeling of outrage and we were actually kind of sad. Look around Dean Gabriel Williams, there is a whole world full of Greek life here on campus, all you have to do is open your eyes.
Sincerely,
A.B.
Senior, philosophy major
