Re: Private colleges ban fraternities, sororities

He said this is because public universities are bound by the Constitution and cannot discriminate against a group.
The tough question to ask yourself is this:

If it weren't for the legal issues mentioned above, how many public colleges and universities would be trying to do the same thing?

And who is to blame?

If you are honest with yourself, you will have to admit that hazing, alcohol and drug abuse are alive and well in the Greek System.

Until those problems are fixed, we will be forced to continue to fight for our survival.
