Industry Update Provided by NPC

The Chronicle of Higher Education reports on the Abolish Greek Life movement, citing activity on at least a dozen campuses. The piece includes comments from students who say that fraternity/sorority life is “a system of exclusive groups that were historically limited to the white and wealthy” and isn’t compatible with their newfound resolve to dismantle oppressive institutions. National fraternity and sorority leaders say the activists are calling attention to the right issues but taking the wrong approach. Dani Weatherford, chief executive officer of the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC), and Jud Horras, president and CEO of the North American Interfraternity Conference (NIC), state that eliminating Greek-life organizations wouldn’t actually eradicate the sexual misconduct, racism, and other discrimination that students were calling out, and that students would be better off staying in the organizations and working to improve them. “If you want to address some past harm, you don’t just walk away from it,” Weatherford said.
