These young men finally got the message from the woke administration: “ Hey you f***ed up; you trusted us.”

“This may seem an inopportune moment to ask, but do you think you could see your way clear to giving us just one more chance?”

I can proudly say, that as a TKE, I share the same fraternity as Ronald Reagan.

At Michigan back in the 70’s, we had an arms length relationship with the university. We had to deal with the city for softy inspections, but that was about it. It worked out just fine for us. I never understood why in other schools there were such close ties.

A very good article on how Stanford’s administration has executed a top-to-bottom destruction of student social life.

I used to think the age of fraternities would be over very soon. Amazed they lasted this long.

But what actually preceded that was the downfall of the whole university system.

We have trusts for our kids, but they certainly don’t have a “college fund”, an anachronistic idea that only feeds the government/higher education complex. Universities are a civilizational cancer in the US, and except in very narrow circumstances (STEM, law), I won’t pay for them to go to “college”, and am steering them in other directions.

How did I miss all this fun when I went to Stanford? People were doing serious academics and had to work hard, for the most part.

When I was at UF, I thought Sig Ep was the Animal House.

Universities can formally ban university - associated fraternities, but there's nothing to stop a group of young men from associating with one another and calling themselves a fraternity.

Not true.

A woman was expelled from college when it was discovered that she used the N-word at age 15 (innocently mimicking rappers).

White teen pushed out of college after video of her saying N-word at 15 resurfaces

So yeah, colleges do expel students for off-campus behavior they disapprove of.

My fraternity at Stanford is affiliated with one of the bigger frats at USC.

Heck, our fraternity dont listen nor obey the idiot rules the university gives. As long as no plebe gets hurt during hell week, ANYTHING GOES and that’s been the agreement going on the past 100 years.

Depends upon the state. When I was at Oklahoma, all students had to live in university housing. The fraternity and sorority, although privately owned, were allowed to function as university housing. IOW, disaffilation from the university meant the houses were no longer university housing and no one could live there unless they were over 21.
