Yale Greek Life

[FSUZeta]

I get so tired of sanctimonious people wanting to run everyone's lives. They know better and we'd all be better if we were just like them. (Eye roll). If you don't like something don't associate with it. If you don't want to join something don't. Until the group you hate does something that directly impacts your life, your objections are not valid.

The dumbest thing about this is...there is already a coed fraternity. The school isn’t preventing local groups from forming as some schools do. These whiny snowflakes can all get together and make their own independent coed patriarchy smashing fraternity system. All you need is to find some idiotic celebrity who will give you a couple million to build or buy a nicer house than the existing fraternities have and then you can STFU. Because that’s really what this is all about - entitlement. It’s the same concept as the SEC rushee who has always gotten everything being aghast that she has to go to a party for a “low tier” group. They’re masking it in a bunch of buzzwords and blab about safety and diversity, but it’s the same entitlement.

I agree with the guy who recommended concentrating on the hard work of developing new groups - it's a lot more difficult than sitting on your ass while you lob bombs at other people's efforts, but it'll actually create the kind of results you claim to seek.

I'm not gonna lie and tell you that I have zero misgivings about fraternity culture, but it's absurd and offensive to even suggest that they don't have right to exist and do things their own way. If you don't like them, don't join them or attend their parties. Do the work to find or create the type of organization or social event you'd like to attend.

Bumping because it's pre-Covid, and parts of some posts are worth a read and application into greek situations that have occurred since last November.
