On Oct. 13, Cornell University banned fraternity parties and apologized to a student who alleges she was raped by several men at a fraternity house in 2024, vowing to address 'disturbing' campus culture.

Better idea: Abolish the stupid Greek houses, let individuals form parties as they wish.

I went to a college with no Greek life and figure myself better for the absence. A bunch of kids, most too you to legally drink, getting shit-face drunk and trying to get laid.

Same here (though unfortunately, by the time I'd graduated, one or two had creeped in).

If you clicked "no, it goes too far" - what's the actual fix you want, cops at every door or frats policing themselves for once?
