Cornell University

It paints a light on every single big university which in any way prioritizes Greek life over academics. The rest of the world thinks our university system is like a movie. It should not be that way. The weird obsession with American collegiate sports and Greek life has to be subdued. It’s all intertwined. If you truly want change, the frat houses with unsupervised drinking and drugging has to go. Universities are for learning and getting a degree. I don’t care how hard the degree is, young adults do not need to get black out drunk with 80 of their “friends.” Cornell might have problems right now, they are one of many schools with this ongoing problem. I loved going away to school, but if I had a kid I might keep them home and do a commuter school. Or explore trades and other career paths too.

The Greek life for both males and females has devolved into a giant Ponzi scheme ladder in which depraved apex predators abuse the younger "base", graduate, and the base moves up to the next rung.

Sorority "sisters" are "pledged" to provide "charity" support to local events like...golf tournaments...with everyone knowing after the weekend is over- many will come away with nice "gifts" or invitations to another event, a yacht party, or special "alumni" event or whatever.

Frat houses are well known predatory party sites and with the advent of widespread drug availability- anyone setting foot inside would be well advised to turn back and even if consensual and legal behavior is occurring- some poor fool who's name is on a group chat is going down with the rest- even if they were not in the country much less involved.

Greek life- has some explaining to do- I've yet to hear about the local Rotary Grape Club....
