[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP.  Go ahead and name the school and the frat here.  It's anonymous after all.. It's not like they are going to sue you.  It will end up helping a lot of other kids/parents.

FWIW, my DS (at Michigan) considered a Frat last year but realized most of them are predominantly White and filled with a bunch of racist a-holes.  His decision to not keep going was validated when he saw other kids that persevered being abused, crying in the dorms, etc. He's moved on and now has plenty of friends and activities he's part of.  The familiar argument about "brothers" after college and 'network' is all BS.  Do you really want your son to have racist, a-hole brothers and benefit from their network?[/quote]

Sounds like you need to educate yourself on fraternities, because not all of them are "predominantly white."  In fact some of the most violent and abusive hazing occurs in Black fraternities.    I haven't watched it, but from what I've read about the PBS documentary linked earlier in the thread, it goes into detail.[/quote]

I responded to this but looks like someone reported it and removed.. Weird.

Anyways.. I don't care if the frat is White or Black.  Most of them are prejudiced in their own ways.  Not worth it at all IMHO.  Don't need to educate myself on frats because I don't care about them any longer, now that my DS is not going to be involved in one.  [/quote]

There are absolutely frats thats are [b]innately [/b]diverse. My DS is in one. As a white guy, he is probably only just barely the majority. Half of his pledge class non-white.[/quote]

Innately?  Are you sure you know what that word means?  [/quote]

sorry English major but I guess the better term is "by design"[/quote]
