Anyway, you seem to think that the problems with college fraternities all stem from the fact that they lack diversity, that it's still a rich white boy club. Even when they have minority members, those members are expected to conform to the white boy frat culture.

I can't argue with that characterization because it's actually true. But I can tell you that the problems with these frats aren't unique to them. You've heard of the binge drinking culture in Korea, haven't you? How is that any different from the frat boy culture here? At least here colleges are aware of the problems with frats and have been for decades. In Korea, the problems with their binge drinking culture have only become publicized in recent years.


Because binge drinking is an action that occurs on college campuses.......its one of a number of crazy behaviors adrenalin junkie teens do........like train surfing and buildering. With the frat. its more than just behaviors........its an attitude that they are superior because they are white, male and rich.
