[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a public health researcher, I have posted many research results showing that Greek membership is associated with negative outcomes ranging from binge drinking to rape.

Fortunately, [b]my kid favored schools where all clubs were open to all students.[/b]

Don’t you want your teen to learn how to make friends without having to compete and try out, let alone pay thousands of dollars a year so they feel popular? [/quote]

This is really important, especially for non-affiliated males who are excluded from frat parties at even “nerdy” schools like Chicago, Johns Hopkins, and MIT.

Davidson parties are, in contrast, open to everyone — as are Stanford. Do your research, folks.[/quote]

Dartmouth’s frat parties have been required to be open for at least 25 years, with a few exceptions like formals. But the weekend parties are open to all.

That said, as an alum, I wish the Greek system would be abolished. Though I know alumni donations are a big factor. My own kid chose a Greek-free campus. But it’s not clear that many of the same issues will be avoided. [/quote]
