IU would be lucky to even have 4 houses by 2030 if nothing is done to curtail this,\u201d said Dr. Jim Bean.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement of the study results came just hours after the TKE Grand Council suspended the Indiana chapter due to various instances of misbehavior. TKE is the latest in a long list of Greek Houses that have closed in the past 4 years, such as Alpha Tau Omega, Sigma Nu, Delta Tau Delta, and Tri-Delts.<\/p>\n<p>Greek advocates and members of existing houses were shocked by the new model&#8217;s results, citing recent reports of each chapter being &#8220;a good group of guys.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t buy a word of this nonsense. What could the Office of Sustainability be calling it? Greek House gases? The Greek system is going to be fine for a long time, and if it goes away, then it won\u2019t be our fault,\u201d said executive board member for Delta Chi Brent Majors, while somehow also shotgunning 4 cans of PBR simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p>However, other houses are taking the study results in stride.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I mean, like, I guess this kinda makes sense. The university does grant us a wonderful habitat up on North Jordan Avenue, maybe it is time we start slowing down, and taking better care of the place,&#8221; said Danny Haines of Pi Kappa Phi. \u201cIf you haze everyone, there&#8217;ll be no one left to haze, you know?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At press time, the Office of Sustainability announced they\u2019d received a $50,000 grant to study the effects of forced elephant walks on natural migration patterns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Jonathan Pollack and Bartholomew Bortles BLOOMINGTON, IN&#8211;A recent study conducted by the IU office of Sustainability suggests that Greek houses, if not managed properly, could become endangered by 2030.
