Anyway, that's not who we're talking about.
That's easy. To get their "yes" vote.Quote:

Well, that was some interesting reading. I guess you can be well educated and still be tremendously stupid.Quote:

Maybe hold $5000 grand of it back for a lump prize to the frat/sorority that earned the most points at the end of the year. Nothing extra from our budget but more than they get now as well.
Ahhh! Was thinking fees were annual not quarterly. Thanks for clarification.Quote:

Anyway I don't want to derail this thread into a greek life conversation.Quote:

8,200 full-time undergraduates averaged over fall, winter, and spring quarters. Numbers always shrink through the year.Quote:
