Fraternities are not publicly funded, no?
- systemtest 7y agoMy knowledge of US fraternities is limited to what is portrayed in Hollywood movies. Are they not funded by the associated University? What about the housing they have? Apologies if my view is limited.

- garmaine 7y agoPrivately funded, privately owned AFAIK. The fraternities are typically off campus for that reason.
- mcv 7y agoActually, for the largest fraternities/student unions in Netherland, the board often gets paid by the university. Not the smaller ones, though (and it's the larger ones that cause all of the problems).
- samvher 7y agoThey sometimes get some support from universities but generally they need to fund themselves or use donations from alumni.
