Greek life and partying are part of the UNO college experience. Last fall, Arizona State University students flocked to campus for the USC vs. ASU football game. However, very few came to watch the football match itself. They came to experience the famous parties organized in my Greek life at USC. This is not an isolated case. USC Greek life is proud of the reputation it has built. Thursday night parties are known not only as epic among USC students, but also among the university community as a whole. However, the partisan culture at USC has grown out of control. The number of students taken to hospital every weekend is completely unacceptable and must be drastically reduced.

Change only happens when it affects someone personally; therefore, to bring about permanent change, USC must personalize its relationships with students with genuine concern for student well-being and students must take personal responsibility for their own health and safety..
