GP is right. Wisconsin schools, on the whole, tend to have more risk management issues, especially with drinking, but also with hazing. While I can't say that I'm hard-pressed to name three national organizations from my campus that aren't in trouble with their HQs, I can say with a decent amount of authority that most of the fraternities who aren't in trouble with their HQs would be if their HQs actually had a clue what was going on. This is true on every Wisconsin campus I've known. Sure, this stuff goes on elsewhere -- but it is especially pervasive in Wisconsin, just based on Wisconsin culture as a whole. I've found that the drinking/fraternity culture tends to breed a mild-to-moderate lack of, at best, understanding, and at worst, respect -- for women, people of color, and the LGBT community. The "entitled frat boy" stereotype is well and alive at many of the bigger/more expensive schools.
Obviously there are exceptions to every rule, but the fact of the matter is that I have yet to find a Wisconsin fraternity man that has escaped that culture, whereas I know several fraternity men outside of Wisconsin who don't buy into it. That doesn't mean that I don't have Wisconsin frat boy friends, that some of them aren't nice guys or even great guys, and god knows that when I'm looking for a challenge in beer pong I know exactly where to go -- but gentlemen they are not.
You're welcome to try and disprove my theory that Wisconsin fraternity men are not classy, but I'm gonna be honest, your first attempt was less than stellar.
ps: I lied; I do know one Wisconsin fraternity man that I would consider a gentleman, but there's no way we'd ever end up dating . . . since he's gay.
