Brandeis Student Life

I've seen you've edited the student life section on the main Brandeis page to remove reference to greek life on campus. Would it be more accurate to state that while the school doesn't recognize them, that certain organizations claim members there? Jihad cowboy 18:46, 12 October 2007 (UTC) == Not really, otherwise it can get carried away. The article is about "Brandeis University" which operations as an institution. If a bunch of students (who just happen to attend Brandeis) are involved in some off-campus activity, it's not really about "Brandeis University" anymore. Where do you draw the line? If a bunch of kids get together in a restaurant each week, does that make them a "Brandeis Dining Club." Alight 20:08, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that this is an article on Brandeis University, and this section is a description of student life on campus. While the school itself does not recognize the fraternities and sororities, when a sizable percentage of the student body participates in it, and a large portion of the social scene on campus is driven by it, I feel a mention IS deserved in a description of the Student Life. To return to your question of a dining club, if and when several hundred students come together to organize dining trips as a unit, then I would say they should be listed as a part of student life.

Your contention that a "sizable percentage" of Brandeis students participate in fraternities is clearly open to interpretation as to what constitutes a "sizable percentage." In addition, your statement that "a large portion of the social scene on campus is driven by it" is absolutely POV. I suspect you belong to one of these "Brandeis Fraternities", if thats the case, your edits on this subject would be against Wikipedia policy, as you are editing on a subject in which you have a vested interest. Apologies in advance if I've pegged you incorrectly. Alight 19:31, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
