Georgia Southern, home to the reigning Sun Belt Champs and six time FCS National titles, is a school that prides itself on traditions.

From the yellow buses the team takes into the game to the flight of Freedom the Eagle just before kickoff, people down here take traditions seriously.

So heres a new one that should be introduced with the rapid expansion of the school and the ascension of our football team to a larger stadium and conference: Greek Seating.

For every action there's always two sides of an argument and clearly there can be a way to compromise.

According to the official website of Georgia Southern Greek Life there are 37 chapters (25 Fraternities and 12 Sororities) that comprise the Greek Community here which equates to around 14% of the student population. Many of which are actively involved in events in the community involving philanthropies, community service, and holding leadership roles within the school.

In recent years Greek Life has received a bad stigma due to incidences of hazing, underage drinking, and deaths.

Many organzations have done great things for Georgia Southern including philanthropies AOPi's Run for the Roses, ZTA Big Man on Campus, Kappa Delta's War of the Wings, Phi Mu's Casino Night, KKG teaming up with Sigma Chi for Low Country Boil and Alpha Delta Pi's Burgers and Fries.

With Georgia Southern football becoming as popular as it has ever been now is the time for Greek Seating. Football driven schools such as University of Alabama, UGA, Auburn and FSU all have specific sections for the school's Greek Life members.

Why not Georgia Southern? Other organizations such as the Student Eagle Club, an organization involved with the athletic department pay $20 dues to have benefits to include reserved seating (front-middle) as laid out on the organization webpage.

Why should Greek Life which accounts for over 2300 students not be allowed to receive their own section?

To make it a win-win for both Georgia Southern University and Greek Life priority seating for each organization could be based on a points system that includes organizational GPA, intramural results/participation, philanthropy involvement and money raised and finally participation in other activities at Georgia Southern such as other organizations/clubs.

With sucess coming in the athletics of the school current football Sun Belt Champions) and academically rated in the top 150 universities according to The Business Journals why not better our social experience as well?
