T h e results of this survey were published with no qualifiers such as how many people responded and h o w many were sent out. What about the question " W h a t changes would you like to see on Hope's c a m p u s ? " How many people made these statements — one. two...hundreds? Did only one person wish for more diversity? W h a t a b o u t the r e s p o n s e that stated "abolish sororities and fraternities"? I would like to know. As for the respondent who staled the opinion about Greek life. I suggest you do some thinking about your statement.
