Shame that. Last time I drove past a college in the US it was the day the hat sorts people into fraternities or however that works and there was a great big cardboard sign on the lawn with a poignant message scribbled in sharpie: "Thank you for your daughters"

Quite the facial expressions on parents dropping off their kids and good chunk of life savings at these ivory towers.

92% of students don't interact with fraternities in the U.S., depending on the school [1]. At the school I went to, it was 70%. If you disassociate yourself with the stupid frat/sorority culture, it is absolutely possible to get a lot out of college, both personally and professionally.

Interesting how this only goes one way. Would it have the same effect if at a sorority there was a sign that read "Thank you for your sons"?

What percentage of men vs women get raped?

These what-ifs are so fucking odious because they’re completely divorced from what actually happens in the real world.

Eh, “the couch pulls out but freshmen don’t have to” was definitely a thing hanging off the balconies of sororities at my Uni, and we’re not even much of a party school anymore (comparatively)
