In response to the “greeks are more financially blah blah blah”
Greeks also pay large sums of money to enter into the society. Dues, i believe they are called. And they also have lots of contributing alums to pool from.
I may not be a student at WCU, but I am a student none the less, and i’ve had the pleasure to deal with funding for events in the past as a resident hall president and as a student spirit vp. And i can safely say that i’ve never encountered any sort of trouble from the SGA. The minute you tell them that you are hosting something ON campus, for STUDENTS, to help increase SCHOOL SPIRIT, and COMMUNITY, they say wow thats really nice and exactly what we want every organization to be doing, heres some funding, OR heres a number, talk to this person and everything will be straight.
And also, this year our president of the student spirit group was selected not by the previous president or the previous cabinet, but by the athletic department. They chose a former male cheerleader who had no experience with gang green whatsoever, but was in a fraternity with a decent role. What happened? The entire cabinet from the previous year said ‘hey, if you arent going to give it to the most qualified person, then so be it’. And what did our new frat leader do? Give away the tailgating space to his frat, fail at letting students know when and what was going on, and basically, killed what was once great.
Why? Because he took something that was meant for the entire student body, and made it into something that only the social greeks would take part of, being that they were basically the only ones informed.
Greek… it reminds me of those people who go to church just so they can tell everyone that they go to church..
