Take a walk down 34th Street and you're bound to notice Greek Row. Turn down Powelton Avenue and there's no way you can miss the Greek houses. Maybe you've read "Pledged" or seen ABC Family's "Greek," and who hasn't heard one or two stories about hazing - but what really happens in Greek life at Drexel?

Dear Editor: I know we have all been inundated by the media coverage of Michael Vick's recent legal troubles, but has anyone actually given him a chance? Let me preface this article by saying I love animals, and I am actually working to complete my pre-veterinarian requirements.
Dear Editor: "Today Drexel, tomorrow world domination." That's what my mortarboard reads from my graduation cap when I was in the second class to shake Taki's hand. It was an homage to him when I heard he either wanted to run a university or be president of Greece.
