If ever there were a class of humanity not worth its weight in sand...
The fraternity system hasbeen badly degraded over time with theconnivanceofthe colleges and universities.
In my era (1960's) fraternities taught brother hood, maturity,and trained members for life by giving them responsibilities usually shouldered by adults.
My house had its own kitchen food service, maintenance, managed all of our own funds etc. etc. We were not unusual in this regard.
This binge drinking/branding/sadism stuff is a product of poor upbringing noty the fraternity system.
