'Greeks Care' faces WU recycling contract hurdle - News

Why is it so darn tough to do the right thing? Greeks at Washington Univ. in St. Louis are finding out.
Washington University fraternities are trying to start a student-run recycling program they hope will help the environment and local schools - but there's one hurdle in their way.
[...]
The Greeks cannot work with Recycle Challenge, however, because the University already has an exclusive contract with a recycling provider. The University is negotiating to get out of the agreement.
[...]
Satyam Khanna, a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon and Joshua's freshman-year roommate, was the one who originally approached Dean Jill Carnaghi with the idea for a Greek recycling program. Materials and pilot programs began in March 2005, and in April, Greek Life partnered with Student Union for funding. This October, they came up with an educational component for the program and set a launch date for it.
Sound like a trashy excuse to me.
