re: Student Section called out by SB Nation

For years I've hated the Greek section ever since I attended every home game as a student. Those self entitled kids were never into the game or there to support the team. They treated it like a social event to hook up with girls or get drunk. Take away half of their seats and make the rest of them first come first serve.

That's funny. Me and most of my fraternity stayed until the Alma mater most games, and were also very well represented at all road games. In fact, greeks make up the brunt of the student section at away games.

I get if you want to give the sorority girls some grief, but the fraternities aren't really the problem and the problem spans well into the GDI seats too. Also, the "greek" seats arent all greek. Lots of student orgs mixed in too.

Come on man.. I would say the majority of the fans in the stadium treat LSU games like a social event. To some degree that's what it is. But you have to expect college kids going and wanting to get wasted and chase skirts.

You sound butthurt that you never joined a fraternity and got to enjoy the better seats, get over it baw. For the record, it's the whole student section leaving early not just the greeks. They all suck these days.
I was at LSU from 08-12 and there was rarely a problem with students, greeks/non greeks leaving early. The last few years has been embarrassing and it's just now getting national attention. I'm glad they're all getting called out.


It's a generational problem at the core of it.
And agree to disagree but IMO this is not the millenials, this is the iGeneration (gen z - after year 2000). Yes I'm aware millenials are labeled as 1980-2000 but I would argue the iGeneration starts more around 1995, they were playing with Gameboys, playstations, Xbox's, aol etc. by the time they were 5-6 years old. People born in the early 90's and before then grew up playing outside for fun.
The people in college these days are 100% technology dependent... millenials (myself) are more like 60% dependent. We at least had the attention span to enjoy a full football game
