Underway are several institution-wide changes meant to support students as they progress through their college experience. Greek life is among those subject to change, in conjunction with finances, support systems, general education revision and, to a greater extent, other efforts. Despite Greek row’s public protest denouncing The Student Belonging and Success Initiative, which could delay rush week by a semester for first-year students, it will continue to move forward and is expected to take effect some time next year. This initiative aims to provide students more time to explore campus life without the pressure of committing to anything. “We’re rethinking how we do the initial welcome week experience and the experience people have when they come in. The current model isn’t working,” said T. Chris Riley-Tillman, WSU provost & executive vice president. The initiative is still in development and subject to change, with many of its aspects being modifiable in the future.
