I’d recommend that college kids not join fraternities, sororities or attend their parties . . . as the old saying goes: I wouldn’t want to belong to any group that would have me as a member. I intentionally chose a college with the frat system because even at that young age I knew tribalism was something to avoid.

I've never understood the attraction to fraternities and sororities. Seems to me that they prey upon the weak and immature who are unable to function on their own in the absence of mommy and daddy providing for their every need.

“I’d recommend that college kids not join fraternities, sororities or attend their parties...”

Parities might be ok, since they’re not interested in scaring off people (just don’t try to drive home). But trying to join, NO THANKS. I never even considered that during my college years, and I still have a job and make good money. Just not needed.
