All nine black Greek letter fraternities and sororities at Southern University have trees or areas decorated with their paraphernalia. During the past two years, five Greek organizations have had their area vandalized and several experienced it more than once.

Areas decorated by Alpha Kappa Alpha, Omega Psi Phi, Delta Sigma Theta, Phi Beta Sigma and Zeta Phi Beta have all been sabotaged.

"It is happening too frequently," said president of the SU Pan-Hellenic Council Mary K. Sims. "They are not getting caught so they just keep doing it."
