As you pointed out, white student groups could have done the same--perhaps other "white groups" at your school did; I know that many groups, in many schools across the country have done similar things. Perhaps, instead of blaming the students for being resourceful, we should blame the professors for being too lazy to come up with new exams? It would not be burdensome to do so.
There have been many horror stories about fraternities and sororities in the news. These are young adults, and they sometimes make bad decisions. I'm not defending everything they do, but there are many good things they do as well. In any case, why would you want to eliminate the entire Greek system because some of them organize and show resourcefulness when it comes to studying for exams?
I agree...the black frats were EXTREMELY RESOURCEFUL and probably did not break the rules (although it’s possible that they ‘recounted’ questions just after the exams in some cases, as is done regularly by outfits that provide ‘help’ on SATs).
It just annoyed me. As to frats in general, obviously I didn’t go to one, but they just annoy me...and anger me when you see people hurt or killed due to hazing...and that’s probably my biggest objection. End the crap where they endanger people with their hazing and I may change my opinion. As it is, it’s just me...one guy. I’m like like an angry feminist who feels a ‘passionate need’ to ‘leave a mark’ (since no guy wants to get near her), which in this case would be to shut down all frats. I’ll just comment in relatively small forums...
But, if they have to spend more time coming up with fresh tests, they'll want more money. How can they live on mere peanuts?
