[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everything is a step down from Swarthmore, get over that. Haverford was on my kid's list briefly - the tiny size (half the size of his MCPS HS) turned him off, and the political upheaval in 2020 turned me off. I'm not paying $80k to have my kid get bullied into skipping classes for mandatory political protests.

Well, if I guess if you mean all schools that don't have "rape attics" being a "step down"...

Those were 2 frats that disbanded years ago.[/quote]

They were disbanded 4 years ago, according to the article, due to events 9-12 years ago. It's pretty recent history.

"Two fraternities at one of the country's most prestigious liberal arts colleges have voted to disband over images and video that appear to show former members making racist remarks and joking about rape. Swarthmore College faced days of protests after the internal documents were leaked including dozens of students occupying the Phi Psi fraternity building....

The closures come after two campus publications released what they say are fraternity videos and photos provided by an anonymous source last month. The material is dated between 2013 and 2016, and contains racist, homophobic and sexist comments – allegedly from brothers of Phi Psi. It also appears to show men kissing, groping and touching women who may not have known they were being recorded.

There's even reference to Delta Upsilon having a "rape attic" in its building. One Swarthmore senior showed us what she describes as a similar room at Phi Psi where she claims she was sexually assaulted in their building her freshman year."[/quote]
