I wanted to thank you for shedding light on such an important issue on our campus.

There are so many students that have voiced they want Divine Nine organizations. This has been going on well before I entered in 2016.

I am a sister of Phi Sigma Sigma, an NPC chapter that was on campus from 2006 - 2017. Our headquarters pulled our chapter off of campus because (in their words) "Barry is not a viable place for Greek life." Barry was not following the rules when it came to having NPC organizations on campus. They were supposed to update our HQ every semester with our grades to make sure we were up to standards; they did not and also did not do well to communicate with our HQ. They were supposed to be paying NPC dues which were not paid until Fall 2018 by Savrae Garnett.

Sav has tried to get our chapter back on campus but noted that Dr. Smith would need to write a letter first to expand Greek Life. That was in Fall 2018, now it seems the administration wants to evaluate the current Greek organizations before even considering expansion.

I do not think that an evaluation of the current Greek life organizations is necessary to see the immediate need for more diverse Greek organizations on campus. Barry prides itself on its diversity – yet is hesitant when it comes to expanding Greek life to reflect the student body.

Instead of an evaluation, I think the administration should sit down with current Greek life members and students who want to bring other organizations on campus, as well as members of those organizations. They may see some familiar faces, after all, Greeks are involved members of the Barry community; they are RAs, Student Ambassadors, Orientation Team leaders, Stamps Scholars, Service Learning Corps Fellows – the list goes on and on.

There are so many opportunities I have had through my Greek life experience including an all- paid trip to DC for our sorority’s annual leadership conference, and scholarship money, that I would not have had if my sorority was never on campus. There are alumni relations that can help with job opportunities after I graduate. It hurts that I will not be able to invite anyone else into my sorority at Barry, but it is heartbreaking that many students will not have any Greek life experience at all because they do not identify with the current organizations.

I think Greek life expansion has been long overdue, and that the administration needs to be more transparent with students about the decision process. Students want Divine Nine organizations, and have wanted them for several years. What is holding Barry back? SPRING 2019 news 5 CALLING ALL GOVERNMENT COMMUTERS: SHUTDOWN

President Maduro came into power following the death of President Hugo Chavez in 2013, whose presidency was also widely considered authoritarian. The last two years in Venezuela have been crucial. In 2017, President Maduro used his powers to nullify the Venezuelan National Assembly, a legal body that acted similarly to Congress in the United States, and it was the only institution that held an opposition majority. Instead, Maduro created the Constituent Assembly, which is completely controlled by his party. The assembly members were determined through elections that, according to the Washington Post, were deemed illegitimate on an international level. The election rules were rigged in order to fa- vor Maduro’s preferred outcome by allowing multiple votes per person, skipping important regulations to ensure validity and not registering the names of voters. This resulted in a new legislative body fully under Maduro’s control. On May 20, 2018, Maduro was reelected for his second term through another interna- Venezuelan president Juan Guaido.
