Texas A&M University’s Office of Greek Life notified Greek organizations that its Moratorium on all Greek social activities extends to tailgating events planned to be held at the Nebraska Football Game this Saturday, November 20.
The announcement came just after the Aggie football win over Baylor and as 19th-ranked Texas A&M prepares to take on 8th-ranked Nebraska this Saturday.
“Individual members who want to host tailgates and wish to include alcoholic beverages may do so but not under the name of their chapter. Alumnae who wish to hold a tailgate are certainly welcome to do so. However we encourage alumnae to take precautions such that it does not appear to be an undergraduate chapter event.”
Several fraternities and sororities on campus had reserved this weekend to host their respective alumni reunions, which collectively pump thousands of dollars into the Bryan-College Station economy each year.

Where does the leadership team of the GL office get off that they have unbridled power to tell former students we should 'feel free' to hold tailgates before the game? Really?!?! We do not need their permission to congregate during gameday. These people need a reality check on their power and proper role/function...more advising and less dictating to current and former students on what is 'acceptable' would be a good place to start. Are any former or current students involved in the decision-making process, in coordination with the GL office? If not, there should be!
ReplyDeleteThe largest student organization on A&M's campus is the 38,000 undergrads. Greek life at A&M should be abolished. Go to Austin if you want that crap. We are all Aggies here--doesn't take a redass to see that.
