^daysandknights [email protected] Greeks Seek Rock Garden By Chris Carlson (TEANECK) - If students get the chance, they should take a walk along the Commencement and admire the solitary rock that sits on its grass. It is known as the Greek Rock. It has been decorated with the names of the Greek organizations that are, and were, on this campus. It was recently announced to the current organizations on the Metro­ politan campus of Fairleigh Dickinson University that they are getting their own individual rock and flag. The Greek Advisor, Mathew Cecere, is more than delighted at this prospect. “I am ecstatic that each orga­ nization will now have something to be proud of and use them as another oppor­ tunity to display themselves,” he said. “Although it comes with a lot of respon­ sibility and respect, the Flags and Rocks are a great chance to help Greek life con­ tinue to grow in the right direction.” While it’s still considered a Photo Credit: DauidThoreson work-in-progress, Cecere has mentioned that a process like this involves a lot of The “Ocean Watch”pUes arctic waters with explorer David Thoreson aboard.
