A letter to the community from Abolish Stanford Greek in The Stanford Daily: "It’s time to end Greek life at Stanford"

The full, written opinion can be found at https://stanforddaily.com/2020/08/06/letter-to-the-community-its-time-to-end-greek-life-at-stanford/. 

Abolish Stanford Greek is a growing coalition of Stanford alumni, students and faculty committed to ending the presence of Interfraternity and Inter-Sorority Council Greek chapters on Stanford’s campus. After years of inadequate reforms and burdensome efforts, predominantly led by BIPOC, FLI, and LGBTQ+ Greek members, we are organizing to abolish this system which was designed to institutionalize privilege and divide us. Abolish Stanford Greek is asking supporters to sign on to the open letter, which has amassed over 500 signatures from alumni, students and faculty. Additionally, the campaign is asking current ISC/IFC members to deactivate and vote within their own chapters to disband. Abolish Stanford Greek is also collecting and publishing firsthand, anonymous stories from students and alumni for its Instagram account to shed light on the widespread harm Greek life has inflicted upon the Stanford community over the years.
