Brown Elementary School give heartfelt thanks to the members of the UNC Greek community, especially Kappa Kappa Gamma, Delta Kappa, Chi Omega, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Pi Beta Phi and the Lamda Psi Chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho, Inc. for their help voting for our playground idea on the Pepsi Refresh website.
The decision by the town of Chapel Hill to enforce the law banning more than four unrelated people in a home fails to recognize the realities of life here and places a heavy and unnecessary burden upon students.

Happy Anniversary! It was one year ago this week (Feb. 5) that New York Times ‘Styles’ reporter Alex Williams waltzed into Chapel Hill and gave his depiction of the life of a UNC woman. His article was troubling, to say the least.

The Association for Student Governments decided last weekend to delay a push for a vote on the UNC-system Board of Governors — a decision that was short-sighted and reflects ASG’s ineptness. On Saturday, an ASG council comprising student body presidents of the 17 UNC-system campuses tabled ASG president Atul Bhula’s bill lobbying for a vote at system board meetings.
The Greek system at UNC has been discussed frequently during the past couple of years. The Board of Trustees is still discussing changes to the system and how to promote a safer culture in the Greek houses.
