[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would anyone want their kid to join a fraternity. Really.

You name the health issue (binge drinking, hazing, rape) and they have an outsized problem. This is based upon studies, not my stereotype).

Think about what else your kid is "learning" there.[/quote]

I presume you feel the same way about sororities too? Or is it just evil men who are the problem?[/quote]

Sororities may also have some issues with binge drinking, but women and men bond in different ways. Men love to get competitive, trying to out drink each other or prove how macho they are through engaging in risky behavior. Rape is generally a male thing because they are stronger and can overpower women.

In sororities, women bond by making cutesie little signs and gifts for each other, or sending each other on little scavenger hunts, or embarrassing their pledges by making them sing the sorority song in a public place or dressing up in a goofy outfit.

These are certainly generalizations and there are many exceptions to be found, but I can’t recall ever hearing about a death due to sororities going overboard in their hazing. [/quote]
