[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This^. Instead of suggesting counseling and club activities, you want him to breakup with a person he loves and join frat bro parties.[/quote]

If that's your take I don't think you read anything I wrote. I've encouraged him to join clubs since before he even started in the fall and continue to do that. He's not found one that really worked so far, and part of that has been because of the girlfriend because he wants to spend time with her and isn't immersing himself into college life as much due to her. So my issue with the girlfriend is not breaking up or not: We like the girlfriend and include her a lot. It's the jealousy and focusing on the relationship rather than college that is the issue, because right now he is miserable without a social group.

As for frats, I've also explicitely stated that he's not interested at all in the heavy drinking ones and we had talks about it. But I do think he should see all the frats for himself because I know that out of the 30+ some are not focused on drinking and don't haze, and I think he'd benefit from having a good group of friends IF he wants to join, which, just like the girlfriend stuff, is his decision and not mine...[/quote]
