What are your views concerning sororities on campus?
"They are are unecessary. Davidson has survived this long without them, why do we need them now?" Peter Clark '01, St Louis, Mo.
"The sorority system's one difference from eating houses is their selectivity and their elitist nature. If both of these elements (however undesirable) are to be taken from them, there is nothing to differentiate them from eating houses, and therefore no reason for their presence." David Johnston '01, Birmingham, Mich.
"I don't think that people are giving the women of Davidson enough credit. Change occurs for a reason, and I think we should trust in what the women of Davidson want." Susie Schuhart '00, Concord, N.C.
"Anyone who really wants sororities that badly should have considered their absence here when applying and gone to another school." Cara Breeden '01, Middleton, MD.
