[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Undergraduate culture” is a synonym for misogyny, bad behavior masked as exploitation and inequality.

It’s time colleges are wiped clean of Greek culture and other clubs that drive division and discrimination. This needs to be done everywhere. [/quote]

As someone who went to college with Greek parties in the early 90s, she definitely idealizes all the fun and leaves out all the date rape culture and crap we had to deal with that was much more normalized back then with no concept of consent that resembles what young women expect today. Just look at how many people re-watch movies from the 80s with their kids and become disgusted.

That’s not to say that I don’t think that there are serious issues these days around young adult culture in terms of loneliness and social capital. But leaving out social media from the discussion is problematic.  Also, having studied abroad in a very progressive European country in the 90s, I was able to have a ton of fun without some privileged douche bag creating a sandbar and a zip line.
