I never joined a fraternity. On my campus (and this was before some reforms were necessitated by an endless string of deaths, nationally), the “marketing” was purely about binge-drinking, and thus, didn’t interest me in the slightest. What fraternity were you in?
(I never could understand how they were allowed to post signs advertising to 18-year-olds for on-campus parties with 60! 70! 150! kegs. Nor could I understand why they needed 60, 70, 150 kegs for parties which I imagine couldn’t’ve been for more than 100 or 200 students.)
So if you were never in a fraternity, how do you know what they do?
We didn’t have “binge-drinking” back then. We just drank.
“I never could understand how they were allowed to post signs advertising to 18-year-olds for on-campus parties with 60! 70! 150! kegs”
Probably the First Amendment had something to do with it. You didn’t have to use that many kegs.
