[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are frats even allowed. My non-white DS told me that as a freshman, kids were allowed to join frat parties for about a week or so. After that week, anyone that was not White was specifically pulled and questioned as to why they were there, who they came with, etc. White, non-frat kids didn't have that issue.

The one non-white kid that eventually decided to pledge was crying in his room several days during the pledge process because of what he considered extra hazing (may or not have been extra; maybe all pledges cry) and racist comments.

And to think all these kids had resumes filled with 100+ hours of service work and other pretend activities that portrayed them as paragons of virtue.. sad.

That's weird because my white DS is in a UM fraternity and his first president was non-white. It's one of his closest friends. There has always been a non-white person on the board. But, this isn't one that is highly ranked, so maybe your son's friend was trying to join a top frat. From what DS has told me, after rush only women are allowed at parties and other men who are friends with fraternity members and already have their name on a list. All other guys would be turned away, regardless of race.

Re hazing, there is a range at UM, which I'm sure is true at any school. At low-ranked frats, hazing is more along the lines of having to do errands (pick up a brother's lunch).[/quote]
