I think it is kind of goofy. I did look and the school does sports teams.
Should they be all coed also?

“Greek life” and sports take up too much time and attention in the typical college. Just deemphasize them and move on. Focus on the academics and job skills development instead.

Wow.
(dusts off yearbook)
At my school, the houses were all very segregated. Men's houses on the north campus, women at the south. Each house had it's own identity - some were very socially oriented (Partay!), others were more academically oriented. Of course there were cultural segregations as well. There was the "black" house, the "Jewish" house, the "Catholic" house, etc.
I was a member of Γ Δ Ι .

What fraternity were you a member of?

I never belonged to a fraternity in university. In fact, I really didn't know or associate with anyone who belonged to a fraternity despite having several friends who were in faculties and programmes in which frats were popular.
Fraternities were not that big a deal as far as campus life was concerned and membership carried little or no weight beyond.

You go to Wesleyan for a reason and that reason is antithetical to Greek life. I would suspect many people would say duh when they read the article.

I knew a lot of people in frats at other schools, but they were pretty much nothing at the commuter schools I went to.

The word fraternity comes from the Latin word "frater" meaning brother. The word fraternity is often used to described not only organizations comprised of men, but also women.
female brothers

That's the charitable interpretation, anyway.
