Aside from all the men/women stuff, and aside from the fact that I completely agree that everyone should have deferred rush, in this instance I totally support the fraternities, and here's why.

The students are not making the decision...the admin is...and they are using it as a punishment. They are blaming all the ills of the school on the Greeks pledging freshmen and think that this will cure them, when in reality it's the whole campus itself that's got issues (as can be seen in the many posts about this situation). That's too hard to fix though, so they make this gesture of "doing something" when in reality it will probably not make a bit of difference. What they are doing is the equivalent of, after having arrested 10 students for vandalism, they find out they all ate banana cream pie at the dining hall so banana cream pie comes off the menu. It's that STOO PID.
