The initiation of a temporary Greek security system went by without any major issues last weekend.

The six-week trial consists of having security guards patrol Greek Row from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m., Thursday through Saturday.

The 25-week proposal made for the 2006-2007 school year has been tabled to see how the current trial phase goes, said Patrick Reichel, a junior kinesiology and athletic training major and Inter-Fraternity Council president.

“It’s sort of like shopping,” said Larry Bolles, director of Judicial Affairs. “You may like something and buy something, but you wait and see if it works for you before you go back and get the rest of it.”

The IFC is asking the Student Association to pay half of the cost for the next school year while the IFC and the College Panhellenic Council will pay the other half of the cost for the security guards should the proposal, after the initial trial period, go into effect, Reichel said.

Completely student initiated, final approval for the new Greek security was passed unanimously by all Greek houses in attendance at the time, Reichel said.

This semester a new Greek judicial board has also been put into effect called the Campus-Wide Greek Judicial Board.

One member from each Greek organization such as the IFC or CPC will serve on the board in addition to one staff member of Student Affairs.

The main concerns addressed by the Campus-Wide Greek Judicial Board address the violations of the accused based on student conduct and university policy.

The IFC makes it clear it will not tolerate people coming in and tarnishing what Greek houses stand for.

Chapters are held accountable to a strict value base, Reichel said.

Only in the case of a tie will the Student Affairs staff member vote on any issue.

A more self-sustained Greek system has contributed to these new programs being added.

“I remember a Greek system when I came here,” Bolles said. “It was full of high achievers academically, good character. They’re trying to make [Greek Row] more attractive … That’s what I’d like to see again, the majority of students saying, ‘It’s good to be Greek.”
