Greek Life

Aaron Kiel, a ULV sophomore, filed a lawsuit on October 11, 1994 against the University of La Verne, Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity, James Coiner of Coiner Nursery in La Verne and six other defendants in the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity for assault, negligence and property, compensatory, general and punitive damages.

Joining together for a common goal, ULV greeks have combined their forces to serve the community with the organizations’ first Charity Greek Week.

With the new “deferred rush” provision now in effect, all six respective fraternities and sororities opened their doors to prospective members during Rush Week.

Last spring, following increased pressure from the faculty and Board of Trustees, the Greek Review Board handed down a decision prohibiting freshmen from rushing for the Greek System during their first semester.

Iota Delta sorority members Vikki Aleman and Frida Gomez, both juniors, carry parts of a castle to a rush event in Founders Hall last week.

The memory is still fresh: four girls were at a party, talking about the possibility of a new sorority on cam­pus. It didn't sound too farfetched at the time. Jokes about a name, a mascot and colors turned into a serious discussion. Once surfaced, the idea never died.
