[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to a school that had banned fraternities and sororities.  I just don't understand the point of these groups.  Is it just to be in a group of people who are like you in some way? It seems anathema to the point of going to college.

I am also concerned about the drinking, hazing, and date rape.  I can't believe that kids put up with some of the stuff I've read about, especially at places like Dartmouth.  I think single gender environments bring out the pack mentality in a lot of kids.  They start wanting to please the alpha dog, and then they'll do crazy things.[/quote]

I went to a school that had no Greek Life to speak of, but it was in hard drinking mid-western town. For better or for worse we had all the drinking and inappropriate behavior people here see to think is the exclusive province of Greek life.  To me it's coming of age and the vast majority of kids make it through just fine and look back fondly on those days without trying to pretend that they were mature or responsible.   I wouldn't trade my wild irresponsible college days for anything.  [/quote]
