Wow, are college men finally finding their balls? If a bunch of guys (or girls) want to get together, why should the University have any say at all in the matter? 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.

The harder the leftists fist squeezes this country and its people the more we disappear between their fingers. The only options left for them is retreat or war.

as long as 50 years ago, a USC frat (and rumor had it several frats) were actively filming homosexual (mostly) porno films in their fraternity row houses on 28th Street

frats will be frats

the university would be wise to dissociate itself from frats and sororities since the residents are going to do as they wish anyway

the college having any connection with frats is a very out-dated hold-over from the In Loco Parentis ethic of the 19th Century. cut the times, Troy. you can’t control what goes on anyway so why is the university still trying to be in the fraternity business?

I’m pretty sure the USC administration helped the breakaway frats with this response:

“The following groups are NOT AFFILIATED with USC. They are not subject to oversight by university staff, and have elected to forgo support resources and other benefits provided to recognized student groups. Some groups are undertaking unauthorized recruitment. Students are STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to not join or affiliate with these organizations.”

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.

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.

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.
