[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have zero control over what your kid does in college unless you keep them at home in a local college and instill a curfew. Hopefully by 18 you’ve taught them to evaluate situations before they get into them and leave immediately when they feel uncomfortable, there’s not much else you can do.[/quote]

Actually, very few of these college students are paying for their education.

A parent cannot control the (adult) student's behavior, but they hold the purse strings and can certainly outline what they are willing to pay for, including not being willing to pay for fraternities or sororities.

For our kids, we have made it clear that frats and sororities are a no go.  We ill not pay for them u der any circumstances.

Professional fraternities are a completely different ballgame.  We are happy to pay for those.

[b]But buying friends[/b], excessive alcohol consumption and hazing are not a worthwhile return on our investment.  If they want to go greek, then they need to get a job and pay for it aling with luving expenses on their own.

Adults pay their own way.

Adults who rely upon someone else to foot the bill sometimes do not get to do all the fun stuff they want to do.[/quote]

So you also wouldn't join a country club, a swim club, a professional organization, a social club like The Cosmos Club, or any class/meetup related to a hobby (writing, hiking, etc), correct? [/quote]
