More than two months after George Floyd's death sparked nationwide protests, unexpected consequences have arisen at some leading universities: Students are leaving their fraternities and sororities over what they perceive as a lack of sensitivity on issues of race, sexism, classism, homophobia and other issues of discrimination or inequality.

Let us hope that wokeness brings down the woke colleges, as it did Evergreen.
Fraternities today are very diverse and full of gay men (for obvious reasons). They are objecting to people that don’t adhere to their beliefs. There is no room for dissension with liberals.
Insensitivity when lion eats zebra reality sinks in your feeling are a useful a a glass of worm p**s.
Any person who does not want to remain in a fraternity or sorority because of an alleged lack of diversity should be encouraged to leave greek life entirely so that those persons can feel good about themselves for making a political point. That would hold true for so called black fraternities and sororities as well, which are a lot less diverse to begin with. Quotas should be established by the schools, where each greek organization must ensure an equal percentage of departures from all “black” and “non-black” organizations.
They went GDI!

“Wait til Otis sees us, he LOVES US!”
I’m not sure why people are freaking out over this. There’s 2100+ members and only 200 left? Across all fraternities and sororities? That could easily be made up in one pledge class. This is just more propaganda to bolster the lie that some grand revolution is taking place at the grassroots level across America. It’s not. This is a technocratic, elite driven “revolution”. We’ll see in November how “grassroots” it is.
2 lost generations. Dont know how you make up for that.

Somehow I dont think Becky and Ken are gonna miss Karen and Chad
When I was in college 30 years ago, it always kind of shocked me how many sorority girls were uber-liberals, at least politically. Not all, certainly, but a lot more than I was expecting... partly because the tenets and agenda of liberalism were so at odds with these girls’ actual lifestyle. I mean even 30 years ago, liberalism was supposedly all about promoting fairness, equality and advancement for nonwhite people, poor people & the downtrodden in general. Nontheless, the girls at Tri-Delta etc were nearly all rich, white doctors’ daughters from wealthy suburbs hanging out with other rich, white doctors’ daughters from wealthy suburbs. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but if you go around pretending to be a great liberal ally of nonwhite people, poor people & the downtrodden, but you have zero interest in such people in real-life, you’re kind of a phony, right?
In other words. Members of the smarmy indignantly self-important effete neo-aristocracy.
You too!? ^5, brother!
Good riddance. Let them join the Young Socialists League or some other commie outfit.
