Petition aims to abolish 24 Greek organizations on Duke’s campus
A group of Duke University students have called for the removal of 24 Greek letter organizations from campus.
They argued the fraternities and sororities perpetuate systemic racism.
More than 2,000 students currently participate in Duke’s Greek community. But there’s a growing debate about whether more than half of the Greek organizations should exist on campus.
“I think that IFC [Interfraternity Council] fraternities, and the presence of them, as well as Panhellenic sororities have effectively created de facto segregation on Duke’s campus, and they’ve done that for years,” said Shreyas Gupta, with Abolish Duke IFC.
A little over 400 have signed the petition
Greek life is a fundamentally broken system, made for white people and designed to propagate white Supremacy. While reforms have been enacted to improve inclusivity and tolerance, Greek life was never meant to be equitable for all groups. Whiteness, cisgenderism, heteropatriarchy, and classism are at the system’s very core. Today, this has created a de-facto segregation in Duke social life and culture. Interfraternity Council fraternities and Panhellenic sororities must be abolished.
To be sure, our goal is not to abolish historically Black National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) nor multicultural fraternities and sororities at Duke. We recognize these groups were founded to create a space for BIPOC when they were barred from joining white Greek organizations, and today they are a source of pride and empowerment for many individuals with marginalized identities.
See? Only certain Greek orgs. Even though the black ones are for ….. blacks. Which is fine. Freedom of association. But, see, this is mob rule, where your interests can be cancelled because some people have a stick up their you know what. And are utterly intolerant.
And, no, it’s not worth knocking down the idiocy of their unhinged argument: they wouldn’t listen, and there’s little point in arguing with idiots. It drags you down to their level and they beat you with experience.
