LETTER TO THE EDITOR

A note to the sororities who have decided that the first floor of my dormitory is their common space: Please leave. Your presence is obnoxious.

I understand that the commons rooms are available for use by any groups who request them. You however, have abused that privilege.

I am tired of having to listen to your shrieks while in my room, as well as when I exit and enter the building. Free reign to block the stairwell is not included in your use of the commons room. Nor is the stairwell to be used as a closet for coat storage. This is a place where other people live. You seem to have forgotten that in the process of your activities.

Personally, I would love to see rush events moved far from where I live. It is unfortunate that you are not allowed to have your own sections like fraternities. This would eliminate these problems.

However, in absence of this, you should fine some place else to hold your gatherings. I know that this University is overflowing with available space to hold such activities. Many of these are not located where people live. These spots would allow you to be as noisy and space-wasting as you want without hassling the rest of the population who live and work in the residence halls.

Since you appear to be so wrapped up in your own social world, you apparently forgot common courtesy and manners.
