Actually, being a man, calm, friendly, protective, hard working, gallant, good natured is the last bastion. Not fraternities.

In theory I agree. Of course there will always be fathers to teach boys how to act like men...assuming the family remains in tact, assuming the man doesn't abandon the child, the fathers don't take their cues from MSNBC, and public and private schools don't undo the father's work.

In the end, my support for fraternities is comparable to my support for the Church...man is a fallible creature but the church triumphant cannot be tarnished. Similarly, fraternity brothers may generally have weaker morals today than yesterday, but against the backdrop of shrinking venues for men to learn how to act like men, I am not willing to face colleges where the chief means for men to learn how to act like men is guys like Trudeau.
