TO THE EDITOR:
Your editorial, “Outside insight,” (Jan. 15) missed the point of the review of Greek life that we’ve asked Jordan Whichard to conduct.
This is not about the University’s administration or the Division of Student Affairs of the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life. This is about the Greek system itself and our desire for it to be the best it can be. We want Carolina to have the best Greek system in the country and for that Greek system to promote excellence across the full spectrum of student life.
I agree with you on one point, though: Whichard is an excellent person to take on this assignment. He’s an accomplished Carolina alumnus who believes strongly in the Greek experience.
He will be consulting with a wide range of constituents — students, parents, alumni, faculty, staff and administration — as well as exploring best practices at other universities. I have no doubt that we’ll benefit from his insight and recommendations for improvement.
So help us get the word out. If you have ideas that you think will improve Greek life at Carolina, e-mail Mr. Whichard at greekreview@unc.edu.
