"Late in the dire college slasher flick Sorority Row, the killer takes some time away from impaling hateful victims to explain why the world will be a better place without all the awful people who didn't survive the movie. And you know what? The psychopath has a point. Nobody in Sorority Row has a shred of decency--it's like the school from The Rules Of Attraction with a lobotomy and a botched boob job--so the maniac in the black robe can't help but emerge as the sole sympathetic character by bumping off soulless sorority sisters one by one, mercifully putting an end to annoyingly glib one-liners about the joys of "roofie sex" and putting "hos before bros." Sorority Row might be utterly lacking in suspense, surprises, and wit, but nobody can say it doesn't have a hero."

So, you've probably heard about this by now: the sorority at DePauw University where 23 members were asked to vacate the house because they weren't "sufficiently dedicated to recruitment".
In which we look at commemorating an important anniversary, an unusual way to publish more articles, one of the best discussions of fraternities and sororities I've seen, an article calling for more flexibility in academia, and a bit of political silliness.

In the University of Washington's "The Daily" in the lost and found section:
FOUND - PANDA head, appears to be a part of a missing suit. Recovered near 45th and Memorial. presumably stolen by ill-advised sorority girls during their week-long, drunken stupor
I am curious as to what people at other institutions think about "Greek organizations," the slightly confusing catch-all term for fraternities and sororities (very few of whose members are ethnically Greek, and very few of whom know more Greek than a handful of the letters of the alphabet).
