The Greek system at any school is most often considered one of the most wasteful communities. Fraternities especially hold a stigma, and it may be a truthful one, that they consume the most while at the same time creating the most amount of waste.
It seems hard to believe that a frat would want to be environmentally friendly, but our house decided to change that mentality. It is a very difficult thing to do in a group that is pretty set in their ways and sees little immediate benefit to change. But, the thing that is the most difficult to overcome is to convince an entire system (school, fraternity, society, etc) to change when it is set up in a way that failing to be eco-friendly seems to be one of its goals.
This blog will journey through our house's experience of being "green". It will pretty much discuss everything about what we are trying to do, what we have done, and the difficulties (or ease) of implementing our ideas.
