A tradition among a small subset of the community that participate in an elective activity (fraternities / sororities) should not and cannot be pushed onto the rest of the campus at large.<br /><br />Besides, CMU is all about breaking rules and being outside the norm.<br /><br />Bravo, Freshmen and Freshwomen!<br />-- One of your OC'sAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890523669575867377.post-5270345005790850362014-09-18T01:03:14.684+05:302014-09-18T01:03:14.684+05:30Actually they were participating in 30+ years of t...Actually they were participating in 30+ years of tradition and respect within the CMU community. If the frats wanted the fence they should have got there first, same as any other time.<br /><br />What's the unwritten rule? "Ye shall not hold the fence when fraternities want it?" or "Ye shall not hold the fence during rush week?". Nope, there are no unwritten rules.<br /><br />-CMU AlumAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890523669575867377.post-61136563632893235352014-09-18T00:36:14.623+05:302014-09-18T00:36:14.623+05:30Good work, freshmen. :)Good work, freshmen. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890523669575867377.post-35460865838573950082014-09-18T00:28:08.162+05:302014-09-18T00:28:08.162+05:30Hahaha that makes absolutely no sense!Hahaha that makes absolutely no sense!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890523669575867377.post-79383863261912974312014-09-17T18:22:24.554+05:302014-09-17T18:22:24.554+05:30"We were the only group of freshman that were..."We were the only group of freshman that were able to hold the fence for an entire week...we even held it through rush, the demand from the frats was palpable."<br /><br />That's because you were stepping on 30+ years of tradition and respect within the Greek community. You broke an unwritten rule. But you were a freshman that didn't know any better. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
