Wrong. If the university had a packed student section and they would have 0 tailgate they would absolutely love that. It would be a win, win for the administration. The only reason they put on the tailgate is to get kids in the stands. Boycotting the tailgate but going to the game would send no message to Martin Hall at all.Quote:

He doesn't want to "get it." He's here to kiss the ass of the people he so desperately seeks attention from. Common sense is not part of this equation..Quote:

I wasn't in a frat, but not able to go to their frat houses on game day is the most idiotic thing I ever heard. We always went to frat row after games. It was a blast. They were the backbone of the student involvement. They gave the visitors sideline hell. Seriously thought they deserved the game ball a couple of times. If you keep denying the frats and sororities these simple privileges, I can see why we have such an un-loyal fan base. These young men and women are the future of our community, state and USA. However, what you won't see is the dedication to the university upon which they graduated from because of the shunning they were given while here.Quote:

Shilling for the admin on this is astounding.Quote:

It is no secret that UL really does not love Greek life, they have done everything possible to destroy it at UL. I know there is a delicate balance between college and Fraternities where universities have to be very careful not have issues and we have had some at UL already. But support for athletics comes from the Greeks on campus in a lot of ways. I'm not saying that they are the only students who go to the games, but the larger fraternities' and sororities on campus have close to 75 to 100 members. Very rarely can you get that type of group support quickly. You want to see the student side empty, continue to give the Greeks a reason not to come and that will happen. I know the university is only trying to protect itself, but the reality is they need to allow these guys to figure out how to do this while at the same time managing the damages/issues that could arise from Greek life partying.Quote:

I was in a fraternity at UL between 1988-1993 and we used our house as a place to gather, party and socialize. I have been a member of our alumni group since I returned to Lafayette, the house is mostly empty, they are no longer gathering at the houses for socialization.
This is a problem and the more we force these large groups not to want to support our team.
I’m sure it is in some other places. Heck, from what’s being told, sounds like it was happening at MS State previously.Quote:

If Texas A&M or UT-Austin admins were to pass down such rules, it really wouldn’t matter for attendance and enthusiasm. Those programs are busting at the seams with support and gameday attendance from students and alumni.
Us…not so much.
Really? Yeah, let the administration have carte Blanche with these dumbass decisions and don't hold them accountable. Brilliant! It's a proven method to get them to change. Sorry, but youre wrong. They will never learn their lesson without a little pain. What's their motivation to change if there are no consequences? ZERO! Stop licking boots and open your eyes.Quote:

The students and frats/sororities are your future alumni supporters and donors which we need more than ever.
Congrats on killing the excitement and energy of Zeon Chriss's first start.
Where is Dr. Maggard? Why hasn't he spoken out against this and made a public statement?
How am I shilling for the admin? Just summarizing what's going on from all the posts here and on social media. I never once said I agree with what they're doing, I've offered suggestions on how to get around it but nobody wants to hear that. Can't have it their way, so they take their ball and go home. Fact is...Quote:

On the flip side. What's their motivation to change is the Greeks boycott the game? Student attendance hasn't been the greatest but it's been on the way up. Plus 90% of them leave at halftime. Game goes down to the wire and where's the energy? Oh yeah, it's at the bar instead of supporting the team.Quote:
