UL's Assault on Greek Life Escalates

[Big Poppa]

A boycott is stupid. Just do you and show up. Why even worry about all that crap. Plenty of ways to drink and have a good time. Guess that’s today’s society. Always wanting to do some kind of protest or organized movement.

You obviously don’t know how hard Martin hall is intentionally making it on the students and trying to prevent them from “just drinking and having a good time”. Boycott or not a message needs to be sent.

I did a quick search

Depaul: "Building something better together"

UL: "Is Going Greek for Me?" "Help! My Child Wants to Go Greek!"
https://greeklife.louisiana.edu/

Slightly different vibe.

No Boycott. Especially in Senior day. Bad message! The players are students also. Show up if you can make it! Geaux UL!

I'm ____ed. You're ____ed. Everybody is ____ed. I got so mad this Season that I had to retract 3 messages I dropped here on the RP. I even killed my monthly donation. Now that's bad. Any boycot idea will only hurt Louisiana more. I fully understand anyone wanting to go medieval but it will only hurt Louisiana more. Us becoming Cajun Mafia will not have a constructive end. The U knows there are no one at the games but at the same time there are smart moves being made by having incoming freshman enter the Swamp through the tunnel, taking photos on the field, having graduation ceremonies on the playing surface (all great ideas) but here is where things go crazy, fining students during games! No drinking games! Herd like cattle to the practice field and separate from Cajun Nation! WTH is going on! Demonizing the greeks! That's 50% of the damn student turnout.

It doesn't make since. But any type of boycott will simply injure the Athletes who chose to come play ball for Louisiana. They'll be second guessing why they chose UL, and that's when the tide will turn.

Just my take, as a Cajuns alum but more importantly a Fan.

Some of yall have battered woman syndrome. Yall act as if this admin is just gonna have a change of heart and start doing the right thing. They won't. But hey, cue up "don't stop believing". It's pure insanity. I'm gonna ruin the movie, but guess what? Lucy pulls the football away from Charlie Brown.....AGAIN.

Aliight tuff guy. What you wanna do

There have been games where no students showed up.

If the Greeks boycotted, I wouldn't know the difference.

Instead start an initiative to get the Greeks more involved so that someday their presence will be appreciated by all.

Yeah, start their own initiative. Remove all accountability from this administration. LoL! Stop letting these clowns control everything. Make a very public show of a boycott in their first year in their shiny new stadium and watch how they respond. If they finally do something, then we won. And we now know how to hold their feet to the fire. If they do nothing, then EVERYBODY knows that they don't care. And at that point, if you still want to pour your time, money and energy into a place that despises you, great. Knock yourself out. But we HAVE to force their hand. Let's find out once and for all, definitively, where they really stand on Cajun athletics. And it will be on display for EVERYONE to see. Not just the handful of us on a message board. BOYCOTT!

Boycott! Did you not read any of my several posts here?

You're right. Do nothing, just like this administration.

[JamesTheJeweler]

You know what? ____ it. Yall right. Just keep doing what yall doing. It's working ____ great, guys! Most apathetic fan base in the country. It's no wonder we can't get fans to come to games. Same 5k old die hards sitting in the stands and coming here complaining but don't want to do ____ to make it happen. We'll you know what they say, you can ____ in one hand and hope in the other, see which fills up first. Good luck. New building...same old ____.

No Money, creativity, and common sense...the 3 stooges of our administration .

What most people fail to understand is that the greek system is under attack everywhere in the US. I had a discussion with my daughter last night about the greek system at MSU (which so many like to reference). MSU has a much larger greek system than UL and when I asked she told me that the administration is constantly on the greek system. Biggest example that she gave me is that the greeks can't have music at their tailgates.

Also just do a quick google search and you will find articles like this

Do I agree with this, no but it is a reality that the fraternal system is under constant attack, things that we did when I was in school even if innocent, (having associates hold a section for a football game for example are considered hazing now and can get you kicked off of campus.

There is no easy solution for this especially in the environment that we live in today, but to just blanket blame the administration is just ignorant.

Exactly. A lot of people on this board are enablers to the poor performance we are getting by the university. No matter how bad they are you keep spending your hard earned money, showing up to see a disaster and whispering how bad things are. Stop effing doing the same things over and over and expecting different results. That is called insanity (aka being a dumb azz).
