Questions about frats
Once again, college fraternities have proved themselves to be outdated and utterly useless ("Student's body found in Red River," Sept. 28).
I challenge any current member of Minnesota State University, Moorhead's Phi Sigma Kappa chapter to explain just what benefit he derives from his membership -- other than free-flowing booze, "friends" acquired through common membership, and a treasure trove of past years' exams to make cheating easier.
Better yet, perhaps the fraternity's executive director could explain exactly what his organization does to better the lives of these less-than-mature young "men," other than soaking up their dues payments and hooking them up with cheap rent deals and, you guessed it, more booze.
High school juniors and seniors, when it comes time to choose a college, remember how today's Greek system embarrasses the universities that allow it, and choose an institution that doesn't have fraternities or sororities.
