Sorry — some pretty nasty comments back and forth about different houses and the members of each.

This isn't a greek life board even when the comments are just about how many pledges each house got, and it would be inconsistent and unfair, to say the least, to allow that kind of rhetoric.

Thanks for understanding.

But it certainly is a board about the law school dean, the band, and who has the best hamburgers.

So what exactly is the "Around the Hilltop" section for? Can we please get a list of approved topics of discussion?

How about media coverage of all this recent hoopla? The press really does seems to have it out for SMU Greeks. They get more coverage than SMU athletics. It's shameful.

It's funny how all these threads keep getting deleted.

Threads get deleted when personal insults start to fly back and forth, and threads regarding greek life always lead to that. Even when someone just starts talking about how many new members each house recruits in a given semester, a lot of people tend to revert back to stereotypes they remember from when they were in school, etc.

The Around the Hilltop board is for things SMU-related that do not spark such sensitive (and subsequently personal) reactions. We have run this board for a long time, and greek life, politics, religion, etc., always tend to generate such responses because people feel strongly about their beliefs ... and they should. This is not an invitation to test the limits. Please remember that we have jobs, families, etc., and are not here to babysit. Use common sense. If you have questions, feel free to ask a moderator via Private Message, but do not keep bringing up the hot-button topics that set people off. We grant a lot of latitude with topics that are related to SMU, and for the most part, that latitude is appreciated and respected. Thanks.

I wasn't in a frat but I recognize the benefits and incentives to join one. I simply couldn't afford it. However, I had several friends that were in various frats and I never really felt as though they were a negative part of the SMU community. College kids are going to party and have fun. Some will be very stupid. This has been the case since the dawn of time. I am glad SMU has a strong Greek scene as I think it helps to build a sense of community within the larger SMU student population.
Back off Warchild seriously.

Why not designate the Montana State game as a TOGA OUT. This would obviously induce the Greeks to the game. Toe-Ga, Toe-Ga, Toe- Ga.

2007 - nope - was in a fraternity and loved it - was great stuff. Just not sure why graduates would get involved in posting smack about other fraternities on an SMU sports board. Thats kind of pathetic.
