Ban Fraternities Because of Sexual (and other) Violence

Being someone who is not at all into “joining” or “belonging,” the idea of fraternities just doesn’t do anything for me. Now, after reading this piece about the alarming rates of sexual assault and other notable transgressions, I am all for doing away with this stupid tradition. I recently ranted to my special lady friend about the emphasis placed on frosh week at universities and colleges—why don’t people just go to school to learn? Same with frats. Go to class, go to the library, go out with friends. Don’t rely on some group of people to somehow prop you up. Especially when that group of people are, statistically, pretty fucking awful.
