| University campus suspends all fraternity, sorority social activities | |
| 2019-04-04 | |
| [MSN] The University of Texas at Arlington has suspended all social activities of Greek organizations due to "concerns regarding the culture of the fraternal community," the school said Wednesday. The university, which has about 28,000 undergraduates among its more than 40,000 students, began the suspension of social activities of fraternities and sororities Monday so that it can study their communities' culture, the university's chief spokesperson said in a statement. "During this pause, the University will assemble a campus Fraternity and Sorority Life Task Force to review the state of affairs within the fraternity and sorority community and to recommend steps to effect a positive shift in the community culture," the statement said.

| #8 Funny how many people take an intense dislike to ALL fraternities and Sororities based on the top houses on campus and not on ALL fraternities and sororities. |

| #7 Many Decades ago UT Austin sent all their reject profs to run UT Arlington. Since the UT Arlington has constantly gotten into trouble with the Accreditors. For example advertising courses that they really didn't have. With the change in appellate judges they could find their legal troubles this time will have painful consequences. |

| #5 Kinda violates the 1st and 14th amendments of the US Constitution regarding freedom of assembly as well as elements of Chapter 27 of the Texas state constitution. |

| #4 Oh, come now! It's not that bad! Greek organizations will still be able to participate in certain events, such as community service projects and chapter meetings. And the reason why? The suspension was not based on a singular event but was sparked by concerns about fraternal culture both on the campus and nationally. So as soon as the national culture improves, sufficiently, these local organizations can resume (most of) their full range of activities. |
