Future of Cornell Greek life

by: Down BadMar 1, 2021 5:25:50 PM

If next Fall/Spring doesn’t see a large increase in amount of kids (specifically guys) rushing and taking bids, Greek life here could deteriorate faster than we anticipated previously. Hopefully, the school opens up in the fall, big parties and O week can happen, and freshmen will be more inclined to join. But if that doesn’t happen, we may disappear sooner than expected.

The frats could extend more bids. I rushed with 8 guys, went to 5 in person events, only 2 of us got bids. I know you'll say that we aimed too high cuz we only rushed the upper frats, but honestly, no one wants to be socially irrelevant.

Hate to say it, but the top and upper houses aren’t the ones really at risk of going under. They still got enough guys to stay afloat financially and aren’t going to bid a bunch of squids just to have a few thousand more dollars.

Once all the bottom houses are gone, then the lower becomes the bottom and the majority of the houses move down. Then if the lower houses die the mids become the bottom and so on. It is not a winning cycle for anyone

Why would you say someone udk is a squid lol. When I was rushing I met a junior who transferred to Hotel and he was one of the coolest kids I met. Texted him yest nd he didn't get a bid. I'm a bit salty myself cause all my bids are from like Kappa Sigma and Rockledge but he genuinely seemed like a great guy and these frats are just bypassing him. You guys are too stuck on status.

It doesn’t help when people on this website tear down chapters for rankings or other things, which discourages people who don’t have “better” options from joining. And this applies to frats and srats

Cornell's Greek life is in deep trouble. Societal attacks and administrative reform and endangering the system. IT also doesn't help that our community is not united at all and we have no relation with the admin. Going forward we need to either change the image around Greek life or continue to contract. Personally, I would rather see my chapter die than become coed sellouts (no offense AZ).
