Attacks on campus greek system petty, unfounded

This letter is in response to John Lepore's letter to Elyse Fune that was featured in Tuesday's Wildcat.

Your criticism inspired me, each pathetic condemnation and righteous call for individualism produced an ironic nostalgia - you sound just like I did one year ago.

Question: How do you feel about those students who are being locked out of classes in their minor fields of study because they are not majors?
