And it seems like too many chapters are intent on providing all the ammunition for those taking up the cry.

Not to mention all the parents who do not want their sons to be any part of what has been going on.

I've seen this happen repeatedly the past ten years; my Greek friends are actively discouraging their sons (and, in some cases, their daughters) from joining fraternities. What I hear over and over is "it's not like it was when we were in school" along with examples of how it's not like it was 20, 30 or 40 years ago.

And it is becoming increasingly difficult to enlist alums to support the chapters. That's my actual experience, not an opinion. It's not just my chapter, either. It's across the board.
