Last say on Beta

To the Editor:

Erika Sogge ("Open Beta to Men and Women," Jan. 17) stated that Beta "has a unique opportunity to create a fellowship -- a social space that includes 'highly regarded' men and women."

This is far from a "unique opportunity." Currently, three Greek organizations on campus -- Alpha Theta, Phi Tau, and The Tabard -- are coed.

All of these houses run open programming throughout the term, often several times per week.

If you're looking for more co-ed spaces on campus, I suggest that you check out coed Greek life before blaming "the Greek system as whole."
