Letter to the Editor: Spring ‘rush’ has always been informal among greeks

February 4, 2005

Editor: I am an active greek sorority member and I am offended by Nick Macey's article ("A greek house divided will not stand," Feb. 1). What could cause more division within the greek system than tearing down another chapter? Of course there are always rivals, and there always will be, but that's not a reason to completely demean another chapter.

Letter to the Editor: Chrony promotes juvenile delinquency with freestyle bike photo

February 2, 2005

Editor: Once again The Chronicle has published a picture of teenagers defacing the landscape of the U campus ("The air up there," picture in Feb. 1).
