I sincerely doubt the founder of the young dems is currently a student at GU.
But it does not shock me that both the young party folks are in this.

It's no big deal. Frat culture will never spread at Gtown because it will never be the cool thing to do (and by that I mean joining frats in general will never be the cool thing to do as it is as other schools-- I'm not commenting on the quality of this frat). This looks like just another club, basically.

Based on the first class of pledges, this sounds like a more open version of the Stewards- campus "leaders" getting together to join some society to reinforce their own sense of self-importance. Bully for them, Georgetown needs another generation of people to write letters to the editor of the Hoya and uphold their long tradition of excellence to their membership and the univesity as a whole. Service in stealth, bring back the Yard, etc, etc.

So contrived that it smacks of the Tensegrity movement of Carlos Castaneda with its magical passes and Don Jaun shaman only waaaay lamer...because the Stewards can't blame it on pycholotropic drugs. |

The Stewards are so secret of a society that I'd never heard of them until today. Usually there's a mystique outside the society itself about it at most places.

I don't know about mystique but I know that the Stewards were well-known among students when I was there. A few links to references in The Hoya: tinyurl.com/3jcdg |

I guess the Stewards have either improved their stealth capabilities or disappeared like a fart in the wind.
Either way, as a member of the Class of '95, I wasn't too pleased with what I understand to be their shining tribute to a deceased former member, which consisted of installing a plaque inscribed with his name and the words 'in memoriam' right at the foot of the clock in Red Square donated by the Class of 1995. Class all the way, those 'Stewards.'

I always thought that clock was donated by the Stewards in tribute to that deceased former member. That's the story I heard anyway, and that's what it looks like.
Guess they just annexed the clock for their own purposes.

Guess they just annexed the clock for their own purposes. Bingo. And, as I recall, it wasn't as if this late Hoya was a member of the Class of '95, either - I believe he graduated in '92. Nevertheless, a moving tribute that stirs the soul and expresses the true dedication of that most important of Hilltop institutions, the Stewards. Might as well put that assinine little plaque on ICC and claim it as having been given in memoriam by the Stew-warts for their fallen friend. I'm sorry the kid passed, but if I were him I'd be disgusted that my so-called mates couldn't scrape together the cash to make an actual memorial, and decided instead to pull some strings and let them co-opt something completely separate. Talk about an overgrown sense of entitlement... |

Someone explain this logic behind this editorial to me : www.thehoya.com/greek-life-targeted/1 : Organizations at Georgetown should have open membership (seems reasonable to me) 2 : Other organizations including The Hoya are selective and socially exclusive 3 : Stop hating on Frats! I couldn't get past point (2). If The Hoya editorial board really thinks The Hoya is too selective and socially exclusive, shouldn't it do something about it? I get that the modus operandi of The Hoya editorials is to find some campus issue no one cares about, blow it out of proportion, blame the administration, rinse-wash-repeat, but this one seems ridiculous to me - they go out of their way to say that The Hoya isn't living up to being inclusive or welcoming and then fire past any collective responsibility or internal examination to some ridiculous double-standard argument to apologize for fraternities. |

Helpful hint to the editorial board - self-seriousness and stern writing does not magically give you gravitas or make your pet issue seem important. Georgetown doesn't' support Greek life. This editorial whines about that, and nothing more.
