Encourage greek attendance in Cameron

As an independent (non-greek affiliated) student, I attended the Duke basketball game Friday night as one of the first 300 before the greek students entered.

Having attended many games in the past, for a non-conference, non-ESPN game against the almighty University of North Carolina at Greensboro Spartans, the Cameron Crazies were rocking. The back half of the Crazies section actually seemed basketball savvy and were definitely heard more than years past, even starting a few chants. The atmosphere outside Cameron Indoor Stadium prior to the game was also much improved. Vulgar and inappropriate language definitely came forth from the greek students when referencing a certain “recruit-who-must-not-be-named,” but surely we will forget about him in due time.

While I am certainly not proposing that greek students be allotted a certain number of seats for each game, I do hope that chapters will further encourage their members to attend Duke basketball games and make this year the most innovative and loudest ever for the Cameron Crazies. I would also like to applaud Head Line Monitor Zach White and the rest of the line monitors for changes that will hopefully prompt a more energized and creative cheering section.
