Shame that. Last time I drove past a college in the US it was the day the hat sorts people into fraternities or however that works and there was a great big cardboard sign on the lawn with a poignant message scribbled in sharpie: "Thank you for your daughters"
Quite the facial expressions on parents dropping off their kids and good chunk of life savings at these ivory towers.
- atleastoptimal 4y agoInteresting how this only goes one way. Would it have the same effect if at a sorority there was a sign that read "Thank you for your sons"?
- s5300 4y agoEh, “the couch pulls out but freshmen don’t have to” was definitely a thing hanging off the balconies of sororities at my Uni, and we’re not even much of a party school anymore (comparatively)
- rhaway84773 4y agoWhat percentage of men vs women get raped? These what-ifs are so fucking odious because they’re completely divorced from what actually happens in the real world.
- atleastoptimal 4y agoShould certain crimes be taken less seriously based on who it happens to more often? The problem with the rape of men is it's never taken seriously or seen as a non-issue because women are raped more often, case in point: your comment
- throw6969away 4y ago92% of students don't interact with fraternities in the U.S., depending on the school [1]. At the school I went to, it was 70%. If you disassociate yourself with the stupid frat/sorority culture, it is absolutely possible to get a lot out of college, both personally and professionally.
