The editorial staff of the Lantern must admit that, at times, we come down a little hard on the greek system at Ohio State. But, then again, who doesn’t? Fraternities and sororities at any university in this country are favored groups for wisecracking and harassment. But everyone knows it’s all in good fun.However, now, as hard as this might be to say, it is going too far. The greek system at OSU, like those of many universities nationwide, has undergone a vicious attack as of late, and it just doesn’t seem fair. Why doesn’t OSU just leave them alone?The OSU Greek Life Task Force has recently given several recommendations to improve the greek system at this university. Among these are the long-debated no-alcohol policies and a new requirement for a grade-point average of 2.5 or higher.Both of these recommendations allow this university to further treat its students like children. The administration’s attempts to control the lives and actions of students at this university are unfair and unnecessary. Now it would be good to implement no-alcohol policies at fraternity and sorority events. However, what right does our administration have to deny students the right to drink at private functions? The greek system is composed of several separate student organizations, each having its own campus and national governing bodies. The community should be allowed to take care of itself.The new GPA requirement could also be good, as it would influence those students interested in greek life to acquire the grades to let them participate. However, this proposal again is unfair. These are all adults, knowledgeable and responsible for their own actions. What good will it do them as people to be forced to get good grades? This is college, a time when students should learn to take care of their own affairs or face the consequences. How are people ever going to grow up if they have others telling them what to do and making their decisions for them?OSU’s attempts to control and improve the greek system are taking away students’ right to do their own thing like the adults that they are. They don’t need a father-figure and they don’t need a baby-sitter. This university should let its greek community handle its own affairs. If some drop out because they couldn’t keep up their grades, or get injured because they’ve had to much to drink, oh well. Part of the growing up experience is learning how to take responsibility for your own actions. To place such rules and regulations on students is to take away that experience.
