Subject: MY Colgate
Mr Golden, I graduated in 1960 and went back to California, and sorry to say have not been back to campus since. I am very disturbed by the efforts of the Board of Trustees, Ms Chopp and Weinberg to castrate the Greek societies that have been part of Colgate for 150 + years. My experience in the DKE house was very rewarding. We had members from all walks of life; we all graduated and went on to successful careers. I have been a regular contributor to the University for the last 40 + years. If some amicable compromise cannot be reached between the University and the Greek houses that want retain their individuality and rights of association, I will cease any further contributions. I'm afraid when I recall my rewarding experiences at the school, I first think of the DKE house, the lasting bonds made with the brothers, and yes, the fun. I have been fortunate in the business world, hence am prepared to contribute heavily to any legal efforts brought forth to counter this sanitization crusade by the administration.
Sincerely,
Lee Carter '60
