Fraternity policy aside, it does sound like a nice liberal arts school, if pricey (about $33,000 per year).
No amnesty for fraternities
Aidan Finley - STAFF WRITER
One of the reasons I applied to Williams, and one of the reasons I wanted to come to Williams was precisely because this place was fraternity free. I didn’t want my social life intertwined with pledging, hazing, racism, sexism, anti-Semitism and the rest of the “community values” fraternities’ offer.

That is the weirdist sentiment I have ever read regarding GL0s.
The lack of GLOs as a reason to attend a school???
I never had any desire to join a social GLOs. Have nothing against them, just not for me. But I view GLOs as a part of college life and expect to see them at colleges. I would view a school that didn't have them as strange. And to not even have professional, honorary, service and other types of GLOs is also strange.
This person has no idea of what pledging is. Hazing is not a value that any fraternity offers. Most (if not all) ban it. Racism, sexism, and anti-semitism are not values that fraternities offer. This may have been true at one time with some, but no longer. Many GLOs are quite diverse, especially when you consider the many co-ed GLOs.
Sad.
If he doesn't want to join a social, that's his choice. I made that choice. But why prevent his fellow students from choicing to?? I prefer that others make that decision for themselves, rather then barring them as this school has done.
