Me too. I think a lot of us are expecting to hear the schools we get a lot here, like the SEC and Big 10 schools.

Didn't we have this article before and agree it was stupid and didn't know what it was talking about (CCC being the prime example)?

I'm sorry, but there is no way that YCP (York College) is 70% Greek, unless they're talking about another York College.

There is another York College in Nebraska. It is also a church of Christ affiliated school. Same situation as Clearwater, but it is not required to join the social clubs. At most of the C of C affiliated schools, the social clubs are a big deal.

In the "Small Club Growing Again" thread in the recruitment section, BeeVee's school is a church of Christ affiliated college.

Millsaps and Westminster were popular choices at my high school. They're not bad places if you're looking for a small school with lots of individualized attention. A lot of students went there because they got full rides that they wouldn't have received otherwise.

Yes, I think their interpretation of "fraternity" might be a little loose. I enjoyed the 10 best colleges you haven't heard of, but I had heard of 9 of them. One of them is the defacto Alpha chapter of Alpha Xi Delta, so I've known about that school for years. And I think the top 10 biggest party dorms is more than a little skewed. 5 of the top 10 party dorms in the entire US are in Washington DC? Seems a little unlikely that the list of 10 biggest party schools doesn't correlate with the top 10 party dorms in any way.

and calling it the most athletes in the country.

I don't respect their right to make a bunch of Westboro Baptist Church leaders, and I think it is worth researching to make sure no federal funding, including loans and grants of any kind go to anybody who would attend a school that discriminates based on religious fervor. Yes, they have the right to do it, but if they are getting ANY money from me, I want it stopped, and right now. I would not be concerned about this with single sex institutions or the HBCUs because their goals are different, and IMHO, valid. But unfortunately, if it was all or nothing, I'd have to go with nothing. The all-women and HBCU schools can find the funding somewhere, just as the deeply conservative Christian schools can.

Of course the students going there get federal loans and grants.

But I want to reiterate what I said upthread: NOT all evangelical Christian institutions discriminate in hiring. I had a bad experience with one, certainly, but the other I spoke with offered me an in-person interview after I told them I was Jewish.

To see whether you are a "good Jew" or a "bad Jew." Joking. You got to the second stage of interviews. That's kickass.

As noted above, can we please stop confusing the extremists as having normal behavior for a sub-set of people?

Also, I feel that a student should have a choice in their education without being punished via less funding for choosing a spesific type of accredited university.

The substantive difference is.....?

Not if it's a question of church versus state they don't.

You do realize that there is no actual constitutional separation of church and state, right?

Yes, there is an actual separation. In the interpretation of the Constitution. Which is, whether you like or not, the law.

laughs at you just like the audience laughed at her @2:58 and @7:20

if you have trouble understanding, listen to other candidate explain

Then you agree with AlphaFrog. Save your laughter for another time.

ETA: And read some of the comments on that youtube clip while you're at it.
