...although the fraternity/sorority option does seem like the lesser of two evils at first glance--at least students get to choose to pledge instead of having to hope to be "punched"--newly forming social organizations really should think twice about whether or not they want to bring back to Harvard national organizations wound up in their own elitist pasts...

The government claimed that if Imelda Marcos was allowed to bring her husband home, his funeral might touch off disturbances that could threaten the country's economic recovery. Aquino knows the power of a funeral: her political career was ignited when massive crowds turned out for the 1983 burial of her husband Ninoy, assassinated while being escorted by Marcos' soldiers...
