The cost is really hard to justify

Fraternities and sororities high costs are an insurmountable barrier for some
By Amanda Albright
Projects & Investigations Team Leader

When joining a sorority, Gwen Gaylord found herself

spending more time waitressing than she did with fellow
members of Chi Omega.
Gaylord, who graduated from UNC in 2014, started working
her freshman year to pay off the imminent cost of her membership, which averages $4,486 a year for new UNC Panhellenic
Council sorority members. But the sorority ended up being too
expensive to join, so she withdrew from recruitment.
The cost is really hard to justify, Gaylord said. Out-of-state
tuition and an expensive sorority lifestyle. (The sorority was)
super accommodating, but they did say I was the first person to

drop in a long time.

That was in 2010. UNCs Panhellenic Council has since
added three $500 scholarships this year, an amount which
would only cover about 10 percent of some sororities dues.
We were looking for women who were exemplary in the
community, said Adair Clark, Panhellenics vice president for
finance. More than 50 have applied for the scholarships. We
know sometimes the cost of dues can be worrisome and this
was a way to mitigate the dues.
For a Panhellenic sorority member who lives in a house with a
meal plan included, the most expensive membership is $8,600.
For a member of a Interfraternity Council fraternity who lives in a
house with a meal plan included, the most expensive membership
is $10,500.

Room and board for students at UNC costs $10,592, according to an estimate from UNC for 2014-15.
As the two Greek entities that offer housing and meal plans
which can steepen the cost of membership Panhellenic
and IFC chapters offer ample scholarships or payment plans to
lessen the financial burden.
Still, Gaylord didnt find scholarships were well-published.
It wasnt to my knowledge that the girls or many of the girls
came from low-income families, Gaylord said. I dont think thats
where they would choose to put their limited funds. My impression is students with financial burden dont seek out Greek life.
UNC doesnt keep track of the socioeconomic background of

Sorority silences survivor

Armed with dated rules, sororities struggle to battle sexual assault

By Liz Bell
Staff Writer

Samantha Robertson joined a sorority because she

wanted to be part of an organization that existed to
serve women.
Ultimately, she felt abandoned after she was sexually assaulted, a period she calls one of the most trying
times of her life. That lack of support led her to drop
Delta Delta Delta sorority during her senior year.
The institution itself is kind of like this its a
facade of sisterhood, she said.
Robertson is not alone in her experience. Women
involved in Greek life are almost twice as likely
to experience sexual assault than non-members,
according to a study from the University of Oregon.
Thanks to the activism of college students, sexual
assault on college campuses has been thrust into
national discourse. Sororities are trying to improve

their prevention and support programs. Robertson

believes change is necessary.
We need to talk about these things. Because a lot
of really intelligent, diligent and hard-working girls
could actually be an agent for change, she said. But
I think that (sorority members) just dont see it through
this really critical lens that needs to be evoked.

They didnt have my back

After being sexually assaulted by an employee at a
restaurant where Delta Delta Delta often had cocktails,
Robertson said she did not receive the support she
expected from her sororitys leader.
Robertson said she spoke to the then-president of
the chapter, Austin White, who ignored her requests
to no longer have events at the restaurant.
When she ran into White in person, Robertson
said White recommended speaking about her prob-

Be as you wish to seem.

SOCRATES

lems at a chapter meeting.

I was just so, like, angry, Robertson said. That
obviously was probably one of the most significant
trials Ive ever had to deal with in my life, and they
didnt have my back.
White declined to comment on the situation.
For girls like Robertson, sexual assault is more than
the hot topic that it has become on campuses nationwide it is a reality they have to face. The leaders of
the Greek community and the University as a whole
have begun to face the issue in recent years.
The current president of Delta Delta Delta, Holland
McGraw, said she thinks sororities are more prepared
to deal with sexual assault than in past years. During
the last five years, she said the options made available in sororities to victims of sexual assault have
improved.

FEATURED ONLINE READER COMMENT

Nikhil Umesh

here were you on

9/11? The question is embedded
in the national consciousness.
But more importantly, as I
found out when I came to the
United States as a 13-year-old,
the question served as the
moral justification that allowed
classmates to joke about how
I might single-handedly blow
up our middle school. Terrorist.
The word was tossed around
with such ease.
I live in an America where
my brown body is a stain, a
mark of other.
During my time at UNC,
I have noticed that yoga is a
popular pastime among white
Chapel Hill residents and students. Yoga is historically and
presently a spiritual and meditative practice, whose origins
lay in Hinduism, Buddhism
and Jainism. Yet the Western
variant of this centuries-old
religious tradition has been
whitewashed into physical
mastery of various contortions
for their own sake.
The West has ravenously
exotified, fetishized and butchered yoga. Like a pig ready to be
picked, it has been hacked apart
into a $27 billion industry. Aside
from $100 Lululemon yoga
pants, attempts have even been
made to patent yoga positions
and postures.
I am painfully aware that
my Indian grandmother
would stick out like a sore
thumb at one of the many
yoga studios dotting Chapel
Hill and Carrboro.
We have a tendency to historicize and narrate colonialism as
a neatly packaged and historically discernible era that ceased
on Aug. 15, 1947, when India
won independence. But colonization never truly stopped.
As someone from the
Indian diaspora, I have seen
that the project of Western
imperialism that renders
cultural practices free for the
taking is connected to a logic
that renders Muslim lives
disposable. America conceals
me when its convenient but
makes me hypervisible when
deemed threatening.
How is it that South Asian
culture is valued where brown
bodies are not? Americas
empire mindset is woven into
public policy, policing, the military and everyday interactions
drone strikes in Pakistan,
The War on Terror, Sikh temple attacks and racial profiling.
I am writing this to challenge
the falsehood that America is a
melting pot of immigrants, a
colorblind meritocracy and that
yogas widespread presence is
a product of innocent cultural
exchange. One-sided plundering
of a culture is not exchange.
Even if U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services gives me
a long-awaited green card, I will
be a perpetual other in this
country. Im not the only one.
This society asks all people
of color to surrender claims to
their bodies, experiences and
traditions for use, distortion
and violence by white America.
Colonization didnt stop
when India gained independence, when indigenous
people in the Americas were
incorporated into the state or
when enslaved black people
were granted citizenship.
When will this society stop
seeing my body as disposable,
my labor as exploitable and
my culture free for the taking?
When will it stop colonizing?

Support all sisters

Sororities have a
mandate to
support survivors.

en perpetrate
the vast majority of sexual
assaults. As such, the best
way to prevent sexual
assault at UNC is for individual men to refuse to
commit the crime and
to hold their male peers
accountable for actions
and behaviors that promote rape culture.
Male institutions, chief
among them the fraternity
system, should be at the
forefront of teaching men
that rape is unacceptable.
But all institutions carry
this responsibility. We
believe that the sorority
system at UNC should also
take the lead in protecting
its members and all other
University students from
sexual assault.
To be clear, it should
not be incumbent upon
women as individuals to
prevent themselves from
being assaulted. It is vital,
however, that sororities
do all they can to support
their individual members.
Sororities are the largest
organized voice for women
at UNC and are therefore
uniquely positioned to
advocate for survivors.
In the last year, the
Panhellenic Council has
made progress on this
front by creating a formal
resource within chapters
to help members navigate
the aftermath of assault.
Two sisters per chapter
are trained to create a safe
space for survivors where
they know they will be
believed and supported.

Despite this progress,

we encourage the council
to continue to do more to
combat rape culture and
support survivors.
Individuals within
UNCs sorority system have
recounted to The Daily Tar
Heel being pressured not
to report sexual assaults
because their sisters feared
that problems would arise
between the reporting
sorority and the fraternity
of the perpetrator. This is
not the dominant response
of UNCs sororities to
sexual assault, but these
occurrences cannot be disregarded.
Others find that their
sisters speak more strongly
with their silence, not
discouraging them from
reporting, but failing to
encourage them to do
so. There are many valid
reasons why a survivor
might choose not to report,
but pressure to stay silent
should not be one of them.
Why might sororities
and individuals within
them fail to fully support
their members? Surely the
patriarchy deserves much
of the responsibility. All too
often, women are socialized
to derive their value from
their relationships with
men, an imperative that
encourages a conciliatory,
conflict-averse approach
between survivors and the
men suspected or accused
of assaulting them.
National sororities also
bear culpability. Their
rules, designed to lower
insurance premiums, forbid sororities from hosting parties at their houses
or providing alcohol,
at times leaving sorority sisters dependent on

male-dominated spaces
for social functions. Of
course, women retain
the agency to act in their
own best interests despite
these circumstances, but
this should not be used to
justify structures that limit
their range of choices.
This power imbalance
between sororities and
fraternities, an imbalance
amplified in society as a
whole, also encourages a
suboptimal response to
sexual assault.
Neither of these factors
excuses decisions made by
individuals that forestall
justice for survivors of sexual assault. Members of
sororities have encouraged
other women not to report
assaults, acting not out of
compassion for the individual but out of a desire
to protect the reputation
of their shared institution.
This is a violation of trust,
and it is one that the institutional designs and cultures of the Interfraternity
and Panhellenic Councils
enables, if not encourages.
UNC and its students
should primarily focus rape
prevention efforts on men
as individuals be they
rapists, rape apologists or
university administrators
that have historically made
UNC an unsafe space.
Still, we should recognize that individual women
and the institutions they
belong to can also be complicit in upholding those
spaces. But this means
they also have the power to
change them for the better. UNCs sorority system
must continue making
progress toward becoming
better, more vocal advocates for survivors.

On the other hand

Bradley Bethel just quit his

job to make a documentary
about how the
scandal detailed
in the Wainstein
report is a media
conspiracy.
Depressingly enough, he
raised $50,000 for his
documentary in a fraction
of the time it took a Chapel
Hill landmark, the Varsity
Theater, to raise to same
amount to stay open.

Carol Folt owned the internet on Tuesday with her

sassy use of the
#WheresCarol
hashtag to let
everyone know
that she was
in California, speaking at a
conference on sexual assault prevention. This was a
pleasant reminder that offscript Chancellor Folt can be
both responsive to student
concerns and a lot of fun.

Even Carol, with her charming ways, couldnt make us

forget the fact
that the conditions morning
commuters
faced Tuesday
morning were in no way
appropriate for southern
drivers. The University
totally dropped the ball
with respect to looking out
for the safety of its students
and employees.

Snow-cial media

Millennials, yo

Thats a wrap

Sometimes its great to

reflect on how lucky we
are to live in the
future. Snow
days are no exception. Twitter
and Facebook
were looking at you,
UNC Memes and Overheard
are never funnier than
when no one has anything
better to do than sit around
making memes and trolling
for retweets.

As we spent Tuesday night

trying to figure out where
the N.C. State
game went
wrong, little
did we suspect,
then, that UNCs
demise started with a selfiestick promotion before the
game. Students blithely
wielded the contraptions,
taunting the universe,
which we all know does not
smile upon such behavior.

Parks and Recreation

wrapped up its fun Tuesday
night with a
poignant season
finale. Like Lil
Sebastian, its
one of those
things that only the people
who were there all along
will truly understand. And
as Winnie the Pooh famously said, How lucky we are to
have something that makes
saying goodbye so hard.

TO THE EDITOR:
I cant say I have ever
been this disappointed in
Carolina basketball. No,
not Roy, not the team; Im
disappointed in our fans.
I had the pleasure of sitting in some pretty prime
real estate for the game
against N.C. State, but I was
troubled by the apathy of
our fans. I was told to sit
down and glared at by socalled Carolina fans who
simply thought coming to a
game and sitting down was
enough. Its not Wimbledon.
You dont want to partake
in this standing or cheering
business? Stay at home. You
want Carolina to win games?
How about investing in
the experience and helping
ensure the Dean Dome is a
tough place to play.

Granny Pods would

not hurt affordability
TO THE EDITOR:
Carrboro Aldermen
Randee Haven-ODonnell
and Bethany Chaney show
a troubling misunderstanding of microeconomics in
their reaction to the concept of Granny Pods.
The two local officials fear
that adding housing options
to the local market will
increase the price of housing.
According to basic economic
principles, larger supply
with constant demand yields
lower prices, i.e., increased
affordability of housing.
Granny Pods can also
make housing more affordable for residents because
rent from the pods would
offset the costs to property
owners of rising property
values and subsequent tax
burdens. These dwellings
can complement neighborhood design, and the Board
of Aldermen has the authority design standards that
protect local identity.
I firmly disagree with
Aldermen Haven-ODonnell
and Chaney in their
unfounded concerns over
accessory dwellings. I support zoning that allows for
many accessory dwelling
types, which make housing
more affordable.
The increase in housing density they produce
improves the efficiency
of local infrastructure
and transit systems. Most
importantly, they dont
require extensive redevelopment that alters the character of the local community.

Students too singleminded to listen

TO THE EDITOR:
Recently, two atrocities
sent a resounding alarm for
my alma mater. One was
the killing of three Muslim
students, of which all of
America has been informed.

The other was the protest of

a respectable black ambassador for Christians United
for Israel.
Dumisani Washington
came from California to
enlighten the UNC community on Martin Luther
King Jr.s pro-Israel legacy.
Sadly, most of the attending students appeared to
be self-aggrandizing. At the
first mention of Christian
Zionism, these Palestinian
advocates carried their narrow minds out of the Great
Hall. Their own identity took
precedence over academic
enrichment. Had they utilized what CUFI offered, and
what a university is supposed
to provide, they would have
received much more than
self-promotion.
Listening to Washington
describe his upbringing in
the segregated South, these
protestors lost patience
when he defined his terms.
Consequently, they missed
the historical contexts for
ancient Zionism, Kings
perspective and the labeling
of Zionism as racism. Most
importantly, they missed
affirmation: His final point
was the immense problem of Palestinian human
rights.
Pilferage of history should
anger us enough to seek
truth. Exhibitions of bigotry
imply that propaganda is
consuming students. CUFIs
attempt to reinstate critical
thinking is fastidious.

Basketball team must

deal with its grief
TO THE EDITOR:
Coach Roy Williams,
something is clearly wrong
with your team. Double-digit
leads are being blown, and in
other instances, the team is
losing by double digits. The
squad has been described as
listless, a word I have never
heard used against a Roy
Williams team.
It has been a difficult
year, I know. Youre still
grieving the loss of your
mentor and friend, and the
emotional distress is being
reflected in your teams performances. How can fans be
excited if you chastise them
for not showing enough
support and then coach your
team to the fewest number
of points ever scored in the
Smith Center?
Its just one of those
situations where I know
because Ive been there. I
lost my father when I was
in high school, and it was
devastating, so much so
that some of my family
members dont talk.
I have never played or
coached a lick of basketball,
and you are a great coach.
I cant tell anyone how to
grieve because it is a personal thing that everyone
does differently.
I also know basketball
is just a game, but it seems
the current situation is
affecting your job performance much deeper than
expected. You need to take
action to keep a promising
season from tumbling into
a lost one and an early exit.

COSTS

FROM PAGE 1
Greek members. Other colleges, such
as Princeton University, have studied
the financial backgrounds of their
Greek students.
As a large public school in the South,
the costs of UNCs Greek life is not much
different from other large public universities. More traditional Southern schools,
such as the University of Alabama, cost a
few hundred dollars more.
The average total cost of sororities
is $1,481.46 as of fall 2014, according
to a study by Omega Fi, which works
with Greek chapters on finances.
Fraternities average $1,359.63 in total
costs, according to the same study
based on 2,500 sorority and fraternity
chapters in the country.
The cost of membership hasnt risen
much throughout the years, said Mandy
Pierce, Omega Fis vice president of
sales. Greek life
has become more
affordable, she
said, because
national and
local chapters
have added more
scholarships or
payment plans.
Ive seen more
alumni groups be
more proactive
to help in that
matter, she said. Gwen Gaylord,
It might be them a UNC alumna
being more organized over time
groups have always been good about
offering payment plans.
Kristin Wing, a Greek consultant
based in Kansas, said she has seen
more and more students work their
way through paying the costs of Greek
membership.
Running a chapter house is a business, she said. Some of that comes
down to, can you fill the house, have

every room and every bed accounted

for. (And) the first year you have to pay
dues to the national headquarters that
are one-time dues.
But Wing said she has seen many
chapters rally around helping members
pay their dues, such as Sigma Alpha
Epsilon fraternity at the University of
Kansas, which covered part of a lowincome students bills for a year.
Your landlord would not do that,
but a fraternity will, she said.
In terms of cost effectiveness,
Wing said housing at Panhellenic or
Interfraternity Council houses is often
much cheaper than living on-campus,
as is the case at UNC.
There are some costs beyond the
housing or meal plan, such as social
funds fraternities use for events, Wing
said. For sororities, some devote a portion of their dues to rush costs.
You have to have a freaking T-shirt
for everything, Wing said, laughing.
Theres no way
of telling how economically diverse
UNCs fraternities and sororities
are. UNCs Office
of Fraternity &
Sorority Life
and Community
Involvement
doesnt track the
socioeconomic
backgrounds of
members.
To me, that
sounds a little
intrusive, said
Aaron Bachenheimer, director of the
office. He said he would conduct such
a study if there were a compelling reason given to him.
Princeton University surveyed its
Greek systems demographics in 2007.
The study found higher-income white
students were more likely to join
sororities and fraternities.
Leigh Terry, a student at the

No matter how you

look at it, its going to
be expensive. People in
those groups go into it
knowing its not going
to be cheap.

University of Alabama, said she has

encountered little socioeconomic diversity in her sorority. The average nonresident cost for a Panhellenic sorority at
Alabama was $3,300 per semester and
the high was $4,500, she said.
For many Greek members, they
are essentially paying the cost of two
college educations concurrently, Terry
said. It is an extremely discouraging
factor for lower-income students, not
just sub-poverty line students.
Terry said socioeconomic and racial
diversity are inextricably linked, especially at the University of Alabama.
High dues served to discourage
minority candidates from entering the
recruitment process, and the argument
that, They couldnt afford it, also provided a convenient excuse to any outsider who asked, Why arent there any
minorities in these Greek houses?
A member of a sorority in the Greek
Alliance Council, which houses multicultural sororities, said the groups low dues
allow a diverse range of people to join.
We usually tell interested girls that
it is about the cost of a nice new textbook, said the member, who preferred
to be anonymous for privacy reasons.
She said the low dues do lead to having smaller budgets, but her sorority is
resourceful.
The group also travels a lot, which
can be hard on some members.
It is a struggle sometimes for some
of us to spend an extra couple hundred
dollars a semester, she said.
Gaylord said when she told the
sororitys leaders she was leaving, they
were extremely gracious and said they
would help her find a way to pay for it.
But in the end, it was too pricey.
They definitely do have some
options for girls who are trying to save,
its just, no matter how you look at it,
its going to be expensive, Gaylord
said. People in those groups go into it
knowing its not going to be cheap.

Sororities battle sexual assault

SORORITIES

FROM PAGE 1

She said lawyers have also spoken

at Delta Delta Delta to educate members about what their rights are and
what resources are available to them if
they are ever sexually assaulted.
Kaitlyn Coppadge, vice president
of standards of the UNC Panhellenic
Council, said this academic year
is the first for a program across all
sororities called Delta Advocates. The
program aims to provide resources in
a safe environment to Greek victims
of sexual assault.
Two sorority members from each
Panhellenic chapter at UNC 22
members total are being trained
on how to prevent sexual assault and
help victims within the community.
The program is set up so a member
of any sorority can come to any of
the advocates to talk.
Each advocate is trained through
the One Act for Greeks and HAVEN
training programs.

A national context for assault

UNC will launch a campus climate survey this semester to obtain
accurate information on the prevalence of sexual assault at UNC.
Aaron Bachenheimer, the director
of the Office of Fraternity & Sorority
Life and Community Involvement,
said to deny Greek organizations are
at high-risk for sexual assault would
be to ignore national research, but
the issue is not separate from the
entire campus.
Marina Rosenthal, a Ph.D. student
in clinical psychology at the University
of Oregon, helped conduct a sexual
climate survey of Oregons entire
student body, which found both male
and female students involved in Greek
life were more likely to experience
unwanted sexual contact.
Rosenthal said gathering largescale information regarding sexual

assault is vital for campuses.

The first step is being able to
look clearly and accurately at the
numbers, she said.
She said there is a common misconception that victims would rather not speak of their experiences, but
their research found the survey was
not more distressing to victims than
their everyday lives.
Its a problematic thought
because what it allows to happen
is for institutions to avoid looking
at these issues with the excuse that
they think it will be harmful, she
said. But whats really harmful for
survivors is when they live on campuses and within institutions that
dont protect them.
Rosenthal said although students
in Greek life reported higher rates
of drinking and more problems with
their alcohol use, it does not explain
everything.
Alcohol matters but theres
something specific happening
in the environment in Greek life
thats dangerous beyond just the
fact that people are drinking at
high rates, she said.
She said fraternity parties were
overrepresented in the survey for
locations where sexual assault
occurred. The study also found
sexual harassment experiences were
higher in Greek life than in the general student body.
The connection here is that there
is an overall climate of disrespect
and an overall climate where talking
about peoples bodies, making disrespectful sexual comments that arent
wanted, all of this, is more socially
acceptable in this specific context all
the way on the spectrum from sexual
harassment to rape.

Changing the power dynamic

Each UNC Panhellenic sorority
has policies that prevent members
from consuming alcohol or throwing

parties in their own houses. These

policies, which come from national
chapters, have been criticized
because the same do not always
apply to fraternities.
Coppadge said the option of
throwing parties at sorority houses
could change the power dynamic
and empower sorority members.
It would give us sort of more
control over who is allowed into
the party, whats being consumed
at the party, she said. It would
lead to a safer atmosphere for us
personally if
those rules
could be
changed.
UNC
Panhellenic
Council
President
Julia
Mullendore
said she does
not think the
change
Quinn Jenkins,
which would
have to come
a Panhellenic Delta Advocate
from the
sororitys national headquarters
would happen, nor is it necessary.
She said the current alcohol policy is
keeping Greek members safe.
The current alcohol policy for
Interfraternity Council fraternities
and Panhellenic Council sororities
prohibits common-source containers, which are communal sources
of alcohol like kegs, punch bowls
or trash cans.
Julie Johnson, chairwoman for
the Panhellenics Committee, said
the problem lies in the abuse of alcohol and the idea of blackout drunk
that has become normalized in college party culture.
Women and men put themselves
in very compromising positions here
that they shouldnt, Johnson said.
Sexual assault has probably happened all along when people are just

not in control of their faculties.

She said women need to own
their own behavior.
We as women could do a much
better job, Johnson said. And
unfortunately we have to take
responsibility for our behaviors
and ourselves we have to. That
means weve got to be smarter in
the choices that were making so
that we dont get ourselves in bad
situations.
She said she could not see sorority
chapters allowing alcohol consumption mainly
because members who live
in houses are
normally under
the legal drinking age.
Bachenheimer
said the idea is
just the beginning of possible
solutions and
lacks basis in
research. A better approach
could be
addressing alcohol abuse, he said.
Maybe the best thing would do
is to restrict alcohol at both fraternity and sorority houses and have
organizations, if theyre going to
have alcohol present, have those
events at third-party establishments, he said.

When you have these

sort of gender roles, at
a party, when youre
feeling unsafe its much
harder to speak out and
empower yourself,

Struggling to battle misogyny

To face the issue of sexual
assault, Robertson said a change in
the way women view themselves is
also vital.
Its the narrative of feminism and
evolving womens rights its that
its gonna have to change a lot in the
minds of these young women. A lot
of the girls who I know dont see
the problem this way.
Were just maintaining this

facade that were all independent

young women who support and love
each other, but only so far as that
complies with this notion of this
Greek community, which is inherently patriarchal.
Kappa Kappa Gamma member
Quinn Jenkins said she thinks the
issue of sexual assault in Greek life is
part of a cultural problem within the
community.
Jenkins is one of the two Delta
advocates in her sorority and is
passionate about stopping sexual
violence and challenging gender
stereotypes.
Sometimes we hold ourselves
to these weird standards, she said,
pointing to websites like Total Frat
Move and Total Sorority Move as
perpetuating misogynistic ideas. She
said Greek members can sometimes
normalize these ideas.
And then we lower ourselves to
that, she said. That definitely plays
into rape culture because, I think
the whole TSM/TFM sort of persona
is like strong aggressive man, very
quiet but beautiful woman. When
you have these sort of gender roles,
at a party, when youre feeling unsafe
its much harder to speak out and
empower yourself.
Robertson said the culture must
evolve because it affects the entire
UNC culture.
UNC is just so unique in a lot of
ways, and a lot of it is that its just
this clash of this old Southern idealism with this incredibly advanced
and evolved research-academic
community, she said.
We have an obligation to both
of those legacies to evolve. Greek
life is absolutely not excluded from
that because although it might
not be the largest percentage of
the student body, it has one of the
strongest voices. And thats whats
important.

Branded for life

National Pan-Hellenic fraternities branding ritual is rooted in history
By Nick Niedzwiadek
and Cain Twyman
Senior Writers

Before he was a Chapel

Hill police officer, Jeffrey
Beckett joined Omega Psi Phi
Fraternity, Inc. at Montclair
State University in New Jersey.
After he became a brother
at the fraternity, Beckett
chose to get one of the most
visceral and permanent displays of his dedication: getting his body branded with
the fraternitys signature
Omega sign.
Though some people might
be put off by the concept
of branding the practice
of heating up a metal rod,
pressing it onto a persons
body, burning the flesh and
ultimately leaving a scar in
the shape of the burn it is a
tradition carried out by some
members of Omega Psi Phi
and some other fraternities as
a sign of commitment to the
brotherhood.
It shows which organization I belong to, Beckett said.
Its a form of self-sacrifice
and love for our fraternity.
Notable members of
Omega Psi Phi include
Harlem Renaissance poet

Langston Hughes, the Rev.

Jesse Jackson and Michael
Jordan. Former UNC football player Quinton Coples
and UNC basketball player
Shammond Williams were
members of the fraternity
that had visible brands on
their arms.
Williams, now an assistant
basketball coach at Tulane
University, said he received
his brand the day after he officially came into the fraternity.
He said he had wanted to join
ever since he met a local judge
who was in Omega Psi Phi.
When I was growing up,
there were many men in
my community, and one in
particular that defined what
African-Americans could be,
he said. He was a judge, one
of the first African-American
judges in my city, and I played
basketball with his son. Being
around him and having the
opportunity to go to their
home and see the great family
he had those are some of
the things I wanted for myself
and my family.
Dr. Bruce Cairns, director
of the North Carolina Jaycee
Burn Center and chairman
of the faculty at UNC, said a
branding typically results in

a second-degree burn, and

some could be classified as
third-degree.
Members can choose a
number of locations where

they want to be branded

the arm and above the heart
are common spots. Beckett
received a brand on his arm
as well on his lower left leg.

The annoying part is

the healing afterward and
not the application of the
brand, he said. Applying it
actually hurts less than some

tattoos, which you could be

receiving for hours at a time
potentially.

GPA rules vex smaller Greek chapters

For some, one members bad grades could keep an entire organization from recruitment
Senior Writer

Senior Charmee Mehta had

to watch as her small sorority
chapter couldnt recruit freshmen in fall 2013.
For Mehta, academic
chairwoman for Delta Phi
Omega Sorority Inc., it was
a learning experience. The
then-11-member sorority did
not meet the required grade
point average for Greek organizations by 0.154 points in
fall 2013, so UNC banned the
chapter from recruiting firstsemester students for one
semester. On average, Delta
Phi Omega pledges three
women each semester. Six
other groups didnt meet the
requirement for fall 2013.
It certainly was motivation
in order for the sorority to take
action in helping sisters do better academically, Mehta said.
In fall 2013, Greek organizations had to have a higher
chapter GPA than the entire
student bodys GPA. They also
had to meet a GPA benchmark of 2.7. As of spring
2014, Greek chapters must
have a 3.0 grade point average as part of a performancebased recruitment policy.
In fall 2013, four
Interfraternity Council chapters and three Greek Alliance
Council chapters faced penalizations for achieving a chapter GPA that fell below the
performance-based recruitment policy for two consecutive semesters. At the time,
the policy stated that all chapters must be at or above the
University-wide average for
that semester and the cumulative University-wide average.
The seven chapters were

punished for having a GPA that

did not meet the Universitywide average for the spring
2013 and the fall 2012
semesters, which was 3.208
and 3.183 respectively. The
chapters also had the option
of meeting the cumulative
University-wide average, which
for spring 2013 was 3.183 and
was 3.151 for fall 2012. But they
did not meet either.
The seven chapters all fell
within a few tenths or hundredths of that threshold.
The four IFC chapters
Phi Gamma Delta, Zeta Psi, Pi
Kappa Alpha and Pi Lambda
Phi faced social probation.
All three of the GAC chapters
Delta Phi Omega, Alpha
Kappa Delta Phi sorority, and
Pi Alpha Phi fraternity
chose to forgo recruitment of
first-semester freshmen.
The road to academic success was not an easy adjustment for some chapters.

Creation of the policy

The fall 2009 semester saw
the shooting death of Delta
Kappa Epsilon president
Courtland Smith in a drugand alcohol-fueled confrontation with police and many alcohol and drug policy violations
by other Greek organizations.
Soon, Greek organizations
came under scrutiny by the
Board of Trustees.
The Board of Trustees voted
to raise the GPA standard
for rush participation to 2.7
for a fraternity or sorority to
participate in rush in March
2011. They also raised the GPA
requirement to participate in
fall rush to match the campuswide average by 2012, which
at the time was about 3.1.

Aaron Bachenheimer,
director of the Office of
Fraternity & Sorority Life and
Community Involvement,
said in an email he has not
noticed any chapters who
have continuously failed to
meet the requirements.
It is probably too early in
the life of the performancebased recruitment policy to
make any meaningful conclusions of habitual recidivism
or to estimate any meaningful
averages, Bachenheimer said.
In spring 2014, the performance-based recruitment
policy was updated to 3.0.
If groups fall out of compliance with the standards of
excellence benchmark, penalizations could include putting
the organization on a comprehensive academic plan,
removal of social privileges or
loss of University recognition.
You can have the best
academic plan and greatest
attention to your members
academic success on the
planet, but if you have members going through individual
academic challenges, it can
affect the organizations
ability to raise their GPA,
Bachenheimer said.
Alternate resolutions are
also available to some Greek
organizations, which could
include a social suspension if
there are extenuating circumstances that merit that.
Bachenheimer also said
that the all-Greek GPA has
been consistently higher than
the all-campus average for
several years. The all-Greek
average for semesters since
fall 2011 was 2.6 percent or
0.08 grade points higher
than the University average.
Some Greek groups

Smaller chapters correlate to lower grade point averages

The Daily Tar Heel put UNCs 49 Greek chapters that have over five members in order by membership size. They were grouped into five
divisions of nine to 10 chapters. Below are the lowest and highest GPAs in each division which increase in chapter size from left to right.

Pi Lambda Phis former
president Robert Harrison
said in an email that after facing social probation, his organization created individualized academic plans.
We scheduled meetings for
each brother to sit down with
our academic chair where they
would go over the brothers
syllabi and create semester
objectives, as well as study
plans and checkpoints for subsequent meetings to examine
the brothers progress towards
their semester goals, he said.

Raising the bar

Bachenheimer said the GPA
policy can be the most daunting for organizations who have
small chapters, like many in
the Greek Alliance Council.
Just one or two low GPAs
can negatively impact the average of an otherwise strong aca-

demic organization, he said.

For example, Delta Phi
Omega achieved a 3.054 with
12 members at the end of
spring 2013.
Mehta said in order to raise
the sororitys GPA, members
held mandatory study hours
and established an academic
plan for members who did not
meet the UNC average GPA.
The academic plan includes
using a calendar and planner
daily, making weekly study
plans, as well as setting monthly SMART goals and reflecting
on those goals, she said.
Mehta said because the
proportion of freshmen who
are interested in rushing the
sorority varies from semester
to semester, the recruitment
restriction did not hurt them
too badly.
There was a slight impact,
but we hoped that any interests we had that were first
semester freshmen would
be willing to wait until the
spring semester in order for
intake to happen, she said.

It gave the interests a chance

to get to know the sisters and
the organization better rather
than jumping in during their
first few weeks of school.
From fall 2013 to spring
2014, the sororitys GPA
jumped from 2.996 to 3.136.
But in the fall 2014 the chapter achieved a GPA of 2.834.
Bachenheimer said the
ease of enforcing the GPA
requirement varies by chapters, depending on chapter
size and academic makeup.
The advantage of being
at Carolina is that the pool of
potential recruits is largely
high achieving, he said. That
being said, students and
members encounter academic
challenges for a variety of reasons that may not always be
apparent during the recruitment and intake process, and
while that individual member
is trying to work through
those challenges, their grades
impact the chapter.

For 10 years, DKE sponsors professorship

Breast cancer awareness close to home

Carolina for the Kids a huge beneficiary

Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity is dedicated to keeping

UNC at the top of its academic game.
In 2000, Edward Tee Baur, an alumnus of Delta Kappa
Epsilon, began fundraising efforts to create the Delta Kappa
Epsilon Distinguished Professorship, which established a chair
endowed by the fraternity to be awarded to an outstanding
member of the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences.
The first and current distinguished professor, David Reeve, is a
philosophy professor at UNC. He was awarded the professorship
in 2005.
Each year I write to explain what Ive done in part with
some of the funds theyve made available, he said.
Getting the chair is funded by Delta Kappa Epsilon, but its
not awarded by them, he said. Its awarded by the University.
So, in a sense, its like any donor.

Alpha Kappa Delta Phi International Sorority Inc., a member of the Greek Alliance Council, fundraises for breast cancer
research. Vy Truong, vice president of service, said the Alpha
Kappa Delta Phi supports the Avon Foundations Breast Cancer
Crusade because of the national sororitys connection to the cause.
Some of our national sisters in the past have had breast
cancer, so thats one of the reasons why our national board
chose that as our philanthropy, she said.
Truong said a lot of work goes into fundraising for the sororitys philanthropy, the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade.
What we usually do for that is in the fall semester during the month of October. We have a whole month of events
leading up to our Charity Ball, which is a show where we have
auctions and organizations perform, and we also have food
provided, Truong said.

Some sororities do it for the kids.

The Sigma Sigma Sigma, Delta Delta Delta, Alpha Chi Omega
and Kappa Kappa Gamma sororities are highly involved in the
fundraising effort for Carolina for the Kids, which raises money
for the N.C. Childrens Hospital every year.
Sigma Sigma Sigma President Emma Hanmer said the sorority has always had a strong connection to Carolina for the Kids.
I think its kind of been like a mutual relationship. Its been
going for a really long time, she said. We have a benefit dinner
in the fall, which has been going on since before I got here.
Hanmer said monetary donations arent the only way her
sorority is involved with Carolina for the Kids.
Three of our members are morale captains (for the Dance
Marathon), she said. There are at least twenty of us who
signed up to participate this year.

Business community mourns Derby

Baguettaboutit truck MEMORIAL SERVICE
Time: 11 a.m. Friday
owner Chris Derby
Location: St. Thomas More
died this week.
Catholic Church
By Maggie Monsrud
Staff Writer

Around town, Chris Derby

was known as a successful
Chapel Hill businessman
who was always willing to
give back. But at home, Chris
Derby was known as coolrocking daddy.
Derby, a local business
owner and member of
the Chapel Hill-Carrboro
Chamber of Commerce board,
died Monday at the age of 57
from a heart attack.
Chris and his wife, Marcy
Derby, had three children: Brett, 27; Kelly, 25;
and Torri, 19, who always
referred to their father as
the cool-rocking daddy.
He loves music, and they
thought he was the coolest dad, Marcy Derby said.
Every night when hed talk to
them before they went to bed,
hed tell them he loved them
and ask if there was anything
he could do.
Derby moved to Chapel
Hill in 1989 as a district
manager with Marriott
Corporation. He worked
with Marriott for 25 years

Address: 940 Carmichael

Street in Chapel Hill

before leaving the corporate world to operate

two local UPS stores at
Fordham Boulevard and
Meadowmont. Derby also
owned the Baguettaboutit
food truck and restaurant.

A man of service
Marcy Derby said he was
a man of integrity, always
putting other peoples needs
before his own. She said she
would often hear her husband
ask, What can I do for you?
Derby was a board
member for Extraordinary
Ventures, a nonprofit that
creates small businesses that
employ young adults with
autism and developmental
disabilities.
Derby co-chaired the
learning and innovation
theme group of the Chapel
Hill 2020 plan, which focuses
on medicine, healthcare and
lifelong learning.
Aaron Nelson, secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce,
said he met Derby about 20

Everything he
chose to get
involved in he cared
about deeply.
Aaron Nelson,
Chamber of Commerce president

years ago when Nelson was

student body president at
UNC and Derby was a director of campus dining services.
I think one thing that
stands out about him is his
positive attitude and welcoming spirit, Nelson said.
Everything he chose to get
involved in he cared about
greatly.
Brett Derby said its difficult for him to capture his
father in words.
He always created this
source of light and positivity,
he said.
He always wanted to make
sure that other people were
happy and would take on a lot
of other peoples battles.
Brett Derby said his father
always provided the highest level of customer service
at his UPS Stores and the
Baguettaboutit food truck.
He knew every customer
that came in, and he would
make sure to have a personal
conversation with them,
Brett Derby said.

COURTESY OF KAYTEE HOUGH

Chris Derby, the owner of two UPS stores and the Baguettaboutit food truck, died suddenly of a heart
attack on Monday. A memorial service will be held at St. Thomas More Catholic Church on Friday.

Marcy Derby said her husbands motto was, If you dont

live on the edge, youre taking
up too much room, because
he lived everyday to the fullest.

A lifelong Tar Heel fan

Marcy Derby said he loved
Chapel Hill and the Tar
Heels. She said he always
tried to stay connected with

the University.
Hes up there with Dean
Smith now, she said.
Marcy Derby said Chapel
Hill has lost a person who
was deeply involved in the
community.
Theyve lost a person that
has helped them better the
business community, she said
Chris was our hero and our
rock. He was everything to

everybody.
A memorial service for
Chris Derby will be held at

National group Rally supports non-tenured faculty

speaks out on
review of centers
By Paige Hopkins
Senior Writer

The UNC Board of

Governors will discuss
them this week.
By Caroline Lamb
Staff Writer

Outcry surrounding a UNC

Board of Governors recommendation to discontinue
UNCs Center on Poverty, Work
and Opportunity has stirred
reactions of national scope.
The American Association
of University Professors
released a statement Tuesday
expressing concern about the
recommendation and the effect
it could have on public universities academic freedom.
Externally funded centers
must be free to sponsor curricular and extracurricular
programs and provide services to the public across the
broadest range of perspectives and approaches, the
statement said.
It follows a statement signed
by more than 60 UNC law
faculty in opposition to recommendations to close the poverty
center and curtail the activities
of the Center for Civil Rights.
The board will discuss and
vote on the recommendations at a meeting at UNCCharlotte today and Friday.
Shannon Brien, a member of
the UNC-CH BOG Democracy
Coalition, said she is attending
Fridays meeting along with
15 to 20 other students from
UNC-system schools.
We want to show up and
make it known that we are
paying attention, Brien said.
Theres nothing they can do
to detract students.
Jim Holmes, chairman of
the working group, said in a
press conference on Feb. 18
that the board is more concerned about the poverty centers impact on law education
and where it fits on campus.
This is not a commentary
on poverty proper. When we
looked at where this particular center fits, and without
all the focus on all the other
stuff thats been written, we
wouldve come to the same
conclusion, Holmes said.
But UNC law students have
begun posting testimonials of
their experiences with the centers on a blog. David Harper, a
third-year student, discussed
how the poverty center impacted his education. He worked
on a project involving foreclosures in Durham County.
Doing the work there at
the (center) alerted me to
this pretty big issue, gave me
valuable research experience,
and it was stuff that was very
different from anything I had
ever studied or learned in a
classroom, Harper said.
Additionally, 139 UNC
faculty members spoke out

against the board, urging

Chancellor Carol Folt not to
follow the recommendations.
There has been speculation as to whether Folt has the
power to act against the boards
closing of centers. In a letter to
The Daily Tar Heel published
Wednesday,
UNC graduates
Center
Tim Longest
& Institute
and Joe Polich
said the UNC
Policy Manual
delegates oversight of centers and institutes
to their campuses. But a proposed revision might give the
board power to review centers
at will.
It kind of strips power
from campuses without explicitly saying so, Longest said.
But according to a memo
prepared by UNC-system
General Counsel Thomas
Shanahan, The (UNCsystem) president has broad
administrative and executive
authority, but even that broad
authority remains subject to
the direction and control of
the Board of Governors.
Still, the American
Association of University
Professors hopes the board
will vote against the recommendations.
And Brien said she is
grateful for the attention from
national organizations.
It really helps put pressure
on the board to understand
that these issues extend
beyond our individual campuses, she said.

Wednesday to call for a living

better working conditions for
non-tenure-track professors.
The UNC Adjunct Faculty
Speak Out was inspired by the
National Adjunct Walkout Day,
an event meant to bring awareness to issues facing adjunct
professors around the country.
The event included students
and professors speaking out
against what they call unfair
treatment toward non-tenuretrack professors. At UNC, they
include fixed-term faculty, who
are on one- to four-year contracts, and adjuncts, who have
less job security.
Some professors with tenure
attended the event among
them was Altha Cravey, a geography professor and one of the
events main speakers.
She said the percentage of
UNC professors who are not on
the tenure track had jumped to
about 59 percent in 2013.
She said she wants the
speak out to create awareness.
I hope that we educate
students about the effect this
is having on their classrooms,
their educations, Cravey said.
I hope we can educate my
peers who are tenured faculty.
A lot of them dont realize
how bad it is for individuals.
Robert Porter, a lecturer in
the Department of African,
African American and
Diaspora Studies, was one of
the few professors without
tenure who attended and
spoke during the event.
He said despite the consequences that could come as a
result of him speaking against
UNCs treatment of non-tenure-track professors, he participated because he thinks major

changes need to be made.

I think sometimes conditions reach a point where we
have to take a stand, regardless
of the personal cost, he said.
Part of the event included
readings of anonymous letters
written by non-tenure-track
professors who were concerned about potential repercussions that could result from
participating in the speak out.
In one letter, a professor
wrote about having to chose
between buying his or her
own health insurance or his
or her childrens. The professor chose the children.
Senior Shilpi Misra attended the speak out and said this
cause impacts both students
and professors.
This does affect me. I care
about the well-being of my
professors who are shaping my
future, so I would hope that I
could reciprocate the quality
thats deserved, Misra said.
Porter said despite his

The Daily Tar Heel

Transit employees ready for more snow

Chapel Hill Transit
monitors route safety
throughout the day.
By Mary Helen Moore
Staff Writer

At 3 a.m. today, when most

residents were sound asleep,
Chapel Hill Transit employees
were already working to make
sure roads were safe and bus
stops were serviceable and
also communicating with
town and University officials.
Michael Purdie, a Chapel
Hill Transit bus driver from

Durham, said he doesnt

mind working on snow days.
The whole town comes
together. We know this
town operates by Chapel
Hill Transit. We know they
depend on us, Purdie said.
So we try to get the folks
where they need to go.
Brian Litchfield, Chapel Hill
Transit director, said they must
continually monitor conditions.
We average about 25,000
trips each day, Litchfield
said. We have to evaluate
each route. Were making
determinations in real time.
Nick Pittman, a Chapel Hill
Transit operations manager,

said people came in as early as

1 a.m. Tuesday to start checking the far ends of each route.
We also work with town
staff and internal staff to put
down sand or ice melt (a salt
mixture), he said.
Pittman said he reminds
operators to slow down
and be safe. No Chapel Hill
Transit buses were involved in
accidents Tuesday.
We work with our operators to teach them defensive
driving techniques and really
get them trained on how to
handle any kind of weather,
Pittman said.
Allison McGee, who travels

from Durham to UNC for

work, said she felt safe yesterday despite the snow.
I know theyre welltrained, she said. Mainly I feel
nervous about other drivers.
When UNC classes were
canceled at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday,
Chapel Hill Transit dispatched
additional buses.
As soon as we knew, within
minutes we had operators
lined up trying to start their
afternoon work, Pittman said.
Litchfield said when the
University or local schools close
early, they try to find operators
available to work extra or start
their routes earlier.

Sometimes were not able

to do that, Litchfield said.
We cant always tell our
operators, Hey, we need you
to work right now.
He said calling in extra
drivers or other employees
has an impact on the budget.
Most times were able to
absorb those costs within our
adopted budget, Litchfield said.
Over the last couple of years
weve been able to do so.
He said Chapel Hill Transit
tries to reach its customers
about changes to routes on
Twitter and Facebook, as well
as on their website, local radio
and local TV stations.

Delays are inevitable when

the roads are icy, and Litchfield
encourages riders to use apps
like NextBus that show where
buses are in real time.
We tell them if you have
to travel during these events,
dress warmly, be safe and
expect delays, he said.
He said with some weather
services predicting more
than a foot of snow overnight
Wednesday, there may be significant impacts on transit.
If we get that much snow,
my guess is well be on break
for a while.

The food ranged from a
tomato and olive fontina
pizza reportedly President
Barack Obamas favorite pizza
to chicken and waffles,
which were a staple of latenight jazz clubs during the
Harlem Renaissance in the
early 1900s.
Treyaun Fulton, co-chairman of BSMs Black History
Month Committee, said he
hoped the food would serve
to start good conversations
about black history.
Our end goal is really to
educate and make people
more knowledgeable about
black history, Fulton said.
He said BSM hoped to
show students the real historical significance and origin
of these meals.
The theme also featured a
trivia table run by BSM that
quizzed students on facts
from black history. Students
who answered questions correctly won CDS gear, including key chains and t-shirts.
Asia Gandy, a freshman
member of BSM working at
the trivia table, said she felt
it was important for students
to respect those who paved
the way for this generation.
Gandy said it is important to
know black history because
it is a big part of American
history.
There have been many
people of color and not com-

ing to this table and getting

a great learning experience,
Gandy said.
Sophomore Taryn Miner
said she had not been aware
of the dinner prior to arriving
at Lenoir on Wednesday but
found the placards and their
history interesting.
Sophomore Norman
Archer said he was happy to
be eating one of his favorite
foods chicken and waffles.
I think its a good way to
incorporate Black History
Month into the University,
Archer said.
Scott Myers, director of
food and vending, said CDS
reaches out to BSM each
year and has hosted a Black
History Month station each
Wednesday in February leading up to the themed dinner.
We partner with many different student organizations

to promote the dining program and provide food and

an atmosphere conducive to
higher learning, Myers said.
Food offers many opportunities (where) we can host different organizations to center
on a topic that involves food.
Myers said there were no
extra costs associated with the
dinner, and he expected a larger turnout than normal for the
dinner due to the promotional
efforts of BSM and CDS.
Fulton, a member of the
Student Dining Board, served
as the main point of contact
between BSM and CDS,
Myers said.
He said the themed dinner
served as a wrap up and celebration of BSMs Black History
Month events, which also
included a trivia quiz bowl.

The Greek Issue

Thursday, February 26, 2015

The Daily Tar Heel

BRANDING

EDITORS NOTE

Its not
all that
Greek
to me

FROM PAGE 5

Beckett said every persons skin reacts to the

burn differently. For some, it creates a flat scar that
fades more easily over time. In his case, it created
a raised scar called a keloid scar that he said took
three to four months to heal.
Cairns said in addition to typical burn complications such as infection, scars like Becketts can itch,
tighten the skin or be prone to bleeding.
D. Michael Lyles, the executive director of the
Human Relations Commission of Prince Georges
County in Maryland and member of Omega Psi
Phis Grand Officers, said he was branded on two
separate occasions while in college on his biceps
and over his heart.
Lyles said the one on his arm has faded over
time, but deeper burns tend to last longer.
A lot of brothers I know from the sixties can
still see the outline of them, he said.
University policies
In the five years since Aaron Bachenheimer has
been at UNC, he has only received one complaint
about branding. It came from a concerned parent
of a fraternity member who came home with a
brand.
Although, historically, there have been students at UNC that have been branded, it is not
something Bachenheimer, director of Fraternity
& Sorority Life and Community Involvement at
UNC, and his department encounter often.
In that instance there was nothing to handle,
he said. Typically branding doesnt happen until
one is initiated, but historically it is not a part of
hazing.
He said the administration is aware of branding
in UNC Greek life, but because it is a voluntary
practice, there are no official policies against it.
While we may have concerns about branding, particularly the process which can lead to
other problems, we can only educate people about
branding, Bachenheimer said.
Bachenheimer said he has not heard much
about branding in practice for almost two decades.
Though there is no official UNC policy, if branding is a part of hazing, it is dealt with in a different
capacity.
This side of branding was brought into the
national spotlight when a student at Texas
Christian University said his Kappa Sigma brothers branded him while he was passed out at a party
in 2010.
If the brand itself is incurred through another
act of violence, then we have an assault policy but
not a branding policy, Bachenheimer said.
A voluntary practice
Lyles said the tradition started in National PanHellenic Council fraternities around the 1960s,
though it developed at different fraternities across
the country parallel to one another.

DTH/KATY MURRAY
Jeffrey Becketts brand formed a keloid scar on his shoulder, which he said took several months to fully heal.

Jenny Surane

Eddie Francis, who studies historically black

colleges and universities and the National PanHellenic Council, said there is no way to know
exactly the beginning of branding in NPHC organizations because there is not much documentation on the subject.
Sandra Posey, a womens studies associate
professor at the Metropolitan State University of
Denver who has studied the Omega Psi Phi fraternity, said she has heard various stories that trace it
back to black soldiers in World War I, the branding of slaves, African practices or even a freemason
tradition.
So much is veiled in secrecy and legend, she
said. Its really hard to say what the actual origin
of branding in fraternities is.
Even now the organizations practice discretion
among other organizations in the Divine Nine
the nine historically black Greek letter organizations in NPHC so it is hard to know what happens in the fraternities and sororities.
Discretion is something that is not only a
requirement but is respected, Francis said.
Lyles said that along with Omega Psi Phi, chapters of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. and Alpha
Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. have their own branding
traditions.
For us it was ceremonial, but it is certainly not
sanctioned by the fraternal organizations, he said.
Bachenheimer said NPHC fraternities usually
have a policy that explicitly states the national

arlier this month, we

were a mostly white
newspaper creating
a race issue. Today, were a
mostly non-Greek newspaper
creating a Greek issue.
Its a reductive way of looking at it, and the topics are
vastly different. But our reason
for doing this issue is largely
the same as it was then. For
better or for worse, were
responsible for documenting
the issues at this University
accurately and fairly.
And students involved in
Greek life make up almost 20
percent of this campus.
Now historically, The Daily
Tar Heel and Greek organizations have been at odds.
Some Greek organizations believe we dont provide
enough coverage. Others
believe our coverage is meant
to be antagonistic.
For these folks, my door
and my inbox are always
open. We do our best to cover
Greek organizations equally
and fairly from hazing allegations to successful philanthropy events to the annual
Bid Day celebrations.
Ill be the first to say it.
While I might not be intimately aware of the different
governing procedures Greek
organizations use, I in no
way dislike Greek organizations. Rather, I appreciate the
important function they serve
in fostering lifelong friendships among college students.
But the fact of the matter
is that Greek organizations
have an entire department
dedicated to overseeing them
at the University. There are
whole systems in place for
adjudicating issues like hazing and the use of alcohol
and drugs at fraternities and
sororities. And, to zero in on
the topic we explore on todays
front page and in our editorial,
experts have repeatedly shown
that members of sororities are
assaulted at a much higher
rate than those who arent.
And we have to cover that.
Like many of the experts
we quoted today, I will be the
first to say that its tough to
cover these topics accurately
and fully. Theres a huge gap
in information and scholarly research available about
Greek organizations.
At UNC, were probably luckier than most. Our
campus is at the center of a
national conversation about
sexual assault on college
campuses, forcing the issue
to the forefront of our campus consciousness.
Indeed, in a recent meeting with the heads of the
Panhellenic Council, the
Interfraternity Council and
the Greek Alliance Council,
I learned that the presidents of our Greek chapters
recently met and discussed
ways to prevent sexual
assault among members of
Greek organizations.
But even in the reporting
of this issue, I know of at least
one sorority that issued a gag
order to its members preventing them from speaking to
any members of the press for
any reason. Instead, they asked
members to filter all media
requests through the sororitys
publicity chair. Im looking at
you, Alpha Delta Pi.
Its the people these issues
impact most who often refuse
to participate in helping expose
these problems even if that
exposure would mean finding a
solution to these issues.
So I guess thats what this
issue is about opening the
door for a more transparent
conversation. Its about encouraging people with compelling
stories to tell to come forward.
Its about pressuring
people in power to find comprehensive solutions to these
issues that affect 20 percent
of this campus.

organizations official stance on branding.

Members say practice is a voluntary decision
and not part of any hazing or initiation rituals.
Georgia State University alumnus Anthony
Kadri is a member of Omega Psi Phi and serves
in the national organizations Grand Council.
Kadri said while others in his chapter have gotten
branded, he chose not to, in part because he has a
skin condition.
I think I like my clean skin, no piercing or anything like that, he said.
Beckett said its important to get branded by
someone who knows what they are doing, both to
ensure it looks correct after and to reduce the risk
of complications.
It is like a tattoo in the way that youre not just
going to let anybody do it, Beckett said. You ask
around and see who can do it well, and those people become pretty popular within the fraternity.
Kadri said because it is not a sanctioned activity,
members need to use common sense when they
get branded.
Its a burn, he said. Youre assuming your own
risk. Youre not forced to have one.
Branding is mostly about expressing love for the
organization, according to Francis.
Emotional attachment, if you look outside of
branding, is no different from how other people
show attachment, he said.

Fraternities risky business

UNC students are tasked with managing the risks of parties, alcohol
By Mary Helen Moore
Senior Writer

Joe Calder starts by making a

Google Doc.
In the week that follows, Sigma
Phi Society members fill the document with names of guests invited to
their party. This list will be used to
determine who can enter the house.
The most work happens the night of
the party, starting around 9:45 p.m.
when Calder, the risk management
chairman, chooses a spot for the bar.
We try to keep it in a location
where people can see whats being
served, but also allows the party to
flow, he said, saying he ensures the bar
is stocked with shot glasses for measuring alcohol. He also does last-minute
cleaning and checks the noise level.
Two fraternity members take their
places by the front door, two others
take the back door, and two more will
man the bar.
When the party begins, Calder
remains alert.
During parties Im kind of the
point man in the sense that people
come to me with complaints, and I
try to help fix it, said the junior.
These duties range from making sure cars are parked correctly to
making sure members know how to
intervene in potentially dangerous
situations. Two sober fraternity members, chosen a week in advance, are
assigned to watch the party and make
sure nothing gets out of hand. A third
is tasked with giving rides to guests
who need one.
Calders job is to implement socalled risk management policies that
address drugs, alcohol, hazing, sexual
abuse, harassment and fire safety.
Aaron Bachenheimer, director of
UNCs Office of Fraternity & Sorority
Life and Community Involvement,
works with the 55 fraternities and
sororities on campus to shape and
enforce these policies.
The policies aim to put fraternities identified as the sixth highest
insurance risk by Willis, a firm that
provides liability insurance to more
than 60 national fraternities low on
the ladder of risk.
Each time we violate one of
the guidelines, we climb up the
rung of the ladder and increase the
chances well fall from the ladder
and harm our organization, said Ion
Outterbridge, assistant director of
the Office of Fraternity & Sorority
Life and Community Involvement, at
Mondays meeting of Interfraternity
Council risk chairmen and presidents.
The IFC is the governing body for
23 of UNCs fraternities, which typically live in houses near campus, at
which they host parties, tailgates and
other events with alcohol.

The North-American Interfraternity

Conference, of which most IFC fraternities are members, requires risk management policies, which has led some
to add positions devoted to keeping
members as safe as possible.
Were not talking about perfection. Were talking about doing common sense types of things that would
help reduce risk, Bachenheimer said.
Students often think of policy in a
negative light, like, Ugh, another
rule. But the reality is most policies,
most laws exist to prevent something
negative from happening.

The drinking problem

Much of the risk at fraternities
stems from the use and abuse of
alcohol. Bachenheimer said fraternities are not allowed to purchase or
provide alcohol at parties, something
Outterbridge reiterated to those in
attendance at Mondays meeting.
Fraternity money cannot pay for
alcohol, Outterbridge said, receiving
laughs in response. Did yall know
that? You sure?
There are other rules around alcohol and parties that help reduce the
likelihood of theft, vandalism, injury
and sexual assault only some of
which are actually put into practice.
IFC fraternity parties must be
BYOB, or alcohol can be provided by
third-party vendors. Rush and new
member events must not include alcohol. Bulk common sources of alcohol
including kegs, cases of beer and
party juice are not allowed. IDs
should be checked at both the door and
the bar. Drinking games from pong
to dares to drinking shots that equate
to ones age are explicitly banned.
Calder said fraternity members in
Sigma Phi serve mixed drinks and
beer never party juice but do
not check IDs.
Open parties are also prohibited in
all IFC fraternities.
Matthew Lovejoy, president of
UNCs chapter of Beta Theta Pi, said
the fraternity uses security guards and
guest lists to ensure safety of members
and guests at social functions.
The line thats commonly made fun
of is, Who do you know thats here?
he said. Its kind of shitty that everyone cant come in. But from our perspective, if we dont know you, we cant
take your word for your character.
Peter Diaz, a member of Phi Delta
Theta and president of the IFC, said
some problems are easier to tackle
than others. He said while alcohol
policies are difficult to enforce, the
use of guest lists and wrist bands has
caught on and limited open parties.
Were talking about having a
party patrol sort of thing, which
isnt really a popular idea, as you can

Community Involvement, speaks to UNC fraternity presidents and risk managers.

imagine, Diaz said. No one wants

to go around and be busting parties,
especially not me.
And to address sexual assault
prevention, new IFC members are
trained in One Act programs, which
started in 2014.
More often than not, everyone has
good intentions and everyone wants
everyone to be safe, Lovejoy said.
Being a social organization doesnt
mean just having parties it means
being socially aware of everything.

A history of liability
Risk management as it applies to
fraternities and sororities originated
in the mid-1980s with the Fraternal
Information and Programming Group,
which consisted of fraternity insurers.
The group organized to talk about
ways to reduce insurance costs and
risk. Bachenheimer said even chapters
not affiliated with the group now use
guidelines nearly identical to the ones
developed by FIPG in that meeting.
Lori Hart, national director of
prevention education for Pi Kappa
Phi fraternity, said it is common for a
student to be designated to handle a
chapters risk management.
You cant play adult half the time.
So if youre going to run the chapter, then that means youre going to
manage and execute the event planning of that chapter. But thats not to
say youre alone, she said. Our job
is to provide education, training and
mature adult guidance.
Diaz said it is better this way.
Fraternity members and students
know these chapters in and out more
than the administrators do, so I
think they need to be the ones working with administrators and making
these policies, he said.

Hart said its impossible to measure how effective risk managers are.
Thats the sad part about it because
I think theres some people that do
so much good and really do create
change, she said. No one comes back
when youve taken their keys and says,
You saved my life last night. Theyre
usually just pissed that you took the
keys. But thats prevention.
Bachenheimer said when fraternities do violate policies, a judicial
board governed by the IFC holds a
hearing. The board can impose sanctions, such as social restrictions or
community service. He said if risk
chairmen are found to have taken
reasonable steps to avoid or reduce
risk, they are generally not punished.
Hart said the landscape of risk
management changed radically after
the drinking age was raised in 1984.
The reality is 75 percent of undergraduates are under 21, she said.
All mens and womens national and
international sororities and fraternities
have risk management policies. Every
single one of those policies prohibits
sororities and fraternities from providing the alcohol. That is the policy. Now,
the practice of many mens fraternities
is, Well provide the alcohol. The practice of many women is, Were going to
drink their alcohol and let the fraternities take on all the risk and not be a
part of the dialogue or the solution.
All national sororities, including UNC chapters, are dry, meaning
alcohol isnt allowed in the house
which reduces their risk considerably.
Its insurance and liability,
Bachenheimer said. Its a much
more pleasant, calm, academically
oriented environment to have a
substance-free living facility.
