Greek life at Bradley University<\/a> is a prominent part of campus life. One third of the student population at Bradley involves themselves with Greek organizations, however even though numbers seem high, they are declining fast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sorority members are starting to realize they aren\u2019t being recognized. Between the Panhellenic Counci<\/a>l and the Interfraternity Council<\/a>, the women feel like they\u2019re not being heard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe campus comes first and greek organizations are always in the wrong.\u201d Lexi Klimek, a member of Alpha Chi Omega sorority<\/a>, and a Junior Economics major said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As a sorority member, Klimek has noticed that both the Panhellenic Council and the Interfraternity Council are not listening to the opinions and ideas of greek life members outside of the councils. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThroughout my greek experience I have not had any contact with anyone on the board unless they were in my chapter,\u201d Klimek said. \u201cAlso, I do not believe that they take in consideration chapters needs and do not ask us for our opinions. They come up with ideas and then with little explanation, our chapters are required to vote on new bylaws.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Klimek has not been the only student to notice the loss of acknowledgement towards the women involved in greek life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
