Many people would say that The Grand Canyon, The Red Woods, and Mount Mckinley are places where you can truly view wilderness, however this should not be the case. Wilderness could be found anywhere as long as the individual possesses the ability to see it. When one sees The Greek Tree, they may think that its wildness is diminished because of the countless layers of paint. But, underneath the countless layers of paint lies a tree just as organic as any other; even as organic as the mighty red wood. Of course, many will probably disagree that The Greek Tree is respected by those who are in sororities and fraternities that paint on it. But how could they disrespect The Greek if it is viewed as a campus landmark. It is protected from being cut down strictly based on it’s iconic value.
