I understand that not everyone acts in the same way in any organization/situation. I am just wondering what things are like out there today in general.

Most universities have Student Life and Affairs offices, with fully capable counseling departments along with campus police and student health facilities.
Moreover, because of a buckling down in admissions over the last 2-3 years, the young people admitted into the schools and populations they are derived from, are not as diverse as one may think... Most kids are there to be educated without much parental support.
The biggest issue is one cannot stay in school without adequate grades. The one thing I have seen that are avoided on TV is that the Greeks are required on most campuses to get professors to initial from their classes.
When I taught Freshman Biology 100 for non-majors, I had a few dozen greek members where I had to initial for the classes. These kids had to be doing the work to pass the class. I signed for a majority of them based on the work.
