[edit] It's all Greek to me
Is the phrase "over 90% greek" supposed to indicate something other than having a student population that is composed of more than 90% Greek nationals? Is this a U.S.-centric phrase that's supposed to mean something?
It means that over 90% of the student body belongs to a greek-letter organization (i.e., fraternity or sorority). Clearmoon 01:04, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
- I added a link to explain this to the rest of the world that doesn't do fraternities and sororities --scruss 02:53, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
I attended this school at one time. I wanted to mention that at this school one has to practically join a fraternity. If one does not one can expect to be harassed almost everyday and have money extorted from oneself by fraternity pledges. One can expect very little help from the administration. One can expect a multitude of pranks. Fraternities and Sororities have test files and tutor each other. It's more or less a condoned form of cheating. Most of the students party hard every weekend and underage drinking is quite common. If you have the misfortune of being in one of the dorms you can expect to have your bathroom facilities destroyed every weekend. The library is very much limited in resources. It's closed for both lunch and dinner. It typically closed around 10 p.m. and on weekends it closed at 4 p.m. and one could hear "music" blaring from the fraternity houses on a Saturday. Early hours also for Friday closes at 5 p.m. if memory serves. The student body was not very diverse when I attended it had recently gone coed. I can still remember people asking derisively if I was a Jew. One would really have to have a car to take advantage of the University of Missouri's Ellis library in Columbia to really do any worthwhile work. I am also aware that being such a small school that in the upper levels there were very limited classes offered. One would have to for instance have to take a class at the University of Colorado and have that class transfered in because the school requires it for a degree yet doesn't offer it.
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Winstonbluejay.jpg
Image:Winstonbluejay.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
