Vice President Rocco DeLorenzo ’24 resigned from his position and seat on the Student Assembly amid allegations of hostility towards women. Vice President Clyde Lederman ’26 remains in office after the Office of Ethics recommended the Assembly consider recalling him as well.
Two high-ranking members of the Student Assembly have received recommendations to be recalled over a series of ethical violations.
Due to “unexpected delays,” the Student Assembly Office of Ethics pushed the release of its report on several high-ranking Assembly members.
Student Assembly elections will be moved back one week due to an ongoing ethics investigation into several members prompted by leaked text messages.
Private text messages showcase a plan to create a Greek life “machine” in the Student Assembly that would shape the agenda of the governing body to be favorable to fraternities and block women’s health-related resolutions.
Did Yash Moitra ’27 try to take down Greek life at Cornell? No — if you take his word for it.
Absentee ballot applications obtained by The Sun show coordination between fraternities and alderperson-elects Patrick Kuehl ’24 and Clyde Lederman ’26 — who said they would look into whether fraternities could hold parties later into the night.
The IFC president and the director of sorority and fraternity life sent an email lifting the ban on social events while implementing new measures for students’ healthy and safety.
We would thus like the opportunity to provide our own views on Greek life, with the hope that we may help both Prof. Schwarz and our fellow Cornellians to better understand why fraternities and sororities still have their place on campus today.
More than a decade after being banned from campus over the death of George Desdunes ’13 during a Sigma Alpha Epsilon hazing activity, a campaign by the fraternity’s alumni has helped to return it to campus this spring.
