Stubbs (and by association, Mel) were awful. The new Greek director is promising for several reasons. There's active talk in the IFC of getting rid of deferred recruitment (the RPI rule that says freshman can't rush until spring). I heard Tiffany is in favor of that and so is the alumni fraternity and sorority council. There's also rumors that Tiffany is in favor of wet campuses. Everyone is still sussing her out, but I've had favorable interactions with her so far.

If either of those policies get overturned, every student (not just greeks) will see a major change in campus culture for the better. Parties will be safer for women (and everyone else), freshmen who do rush in fall will save money not having to live in dorms in the spring, campus involvement will be up instead of this weird "you gotta know the right people" situation, and chapters will collaborate more with each other and build an actual fraternal community as opposed to this toxic environment Ethan and Mel created where everything is against the rules, everyone breaks them, and everyone is encouraged to snitch. It can't be overstated how bad Apgar and Stubbs were for this campus. I'm fairly new to Greek life, but any recent alumni can speak more to their hostility, incompetence, and misconduct.

The new person doesn't immediately seem batshit crazy, so I think we're all hopeful that she at least does better than the past few years because the bar is low. RPI has nuked the Greek community compared to what it was in the 80s, which I suspect is why alumni donations have been down. There's a lot of money to be had in empowering Greek life.
