Greeks
Fro* Pas. 3
Although some Greek activities
are still conducted in seclusion, the
groups have come out of the closet
and solicited new members with
openness
This new drive for members be
gan in the late 1%0's and earty 1960s
when Greek popularity was at a low
ebb and the groups were marred with
problems
The Greeks at Fresno State as
well as others across the country came
under attack from minorities during
the 1950's because of racial discrimina¬
tion in memberships
Theta Chi fraternity at Fresno
State dropped Its whites only clause
m 1957 That decision was closely (ol
lowed in 1961 by a State College
Trustees' ban on discrimination in both
the fraternities and sororities
The 1960s campus unrest also
added to the Greeks' problems. Stu¬
dents were angry at political systems,
school administrations and groups
representing what they felt were
establishment viewpoints
In 1965, the Fresno State fra
temities and sororities backed Presi
dent Johnson's stand in Vietnam
Needless to say, this support was not
widespread on campus.
But, today, the Greeks are on
the upswing. Students are returning
to the traditional societies in what some
social psychologists are describing as
a reincarnation of the carefree ear¬
ly 1950's.
Tradition is in, rebellion is out
and the Greeks are taking advantage
of thonew mood.
Perhaps the "traditional" weekly
beer parties or 'TG's" on this campus
are a slab at reproducing the fraternity
feelings that helped create Phi Beta
Kappa in that Williamsburg tavern
over 200 years ago.
