Some zoomer claims no kids in college work for extra money, or to help pay bills

“paying for lsu” =\= “extra money” or “help pay bills”… but you already know that

Thats not what he said, Gomer.

I’m agnostic about Greek life. But I I’m all for the Greek system cutting all official ties with our ridiculous colleges and telling them to shove it up their woke, bureaucratically bloated asses.

Not sure what they expect when having parties, serving alcohol, hazing, etc..is common place.

Just make it simple, NO going upstairs at all for non residents of the house during parties.
If a girl would happen to be dating a guy, make her give signature and have a second friend co-sign.(or something)
Make infractions and auto expelling situation

But yeah, if the Greek system ended tomorrow, after a couple of years no one would care. Plus more and more classes will be virtual anyway. Way less on campus participation

The administrations are flush with cash and want the property.

Do YOU understand the concept of an average? I just said that the average LSU student is middle class and the average Greek student is upper middle class. You’re the one who seems confused considering you refuse to drop it. It’s not as extreme as you seem to think

It's not nearly as extreme at LSU as elsewhere but maybe if you visited a more prestigious school you could see the light and understand the difference in demographics

This is an LSU forum so I’m not sure why the frick you keep bringing up Harvard like it matters. Can you drop it? I didn’t go to Harvard, and I’ve met people all across the country at schools like UT, UGA, Vandy, etc. and none of them are ultra mega rich on average like you keep repeating.

Maybe instead of me visiting a “prestigious school”, whatever the frick that means in your eyes, you should go visit a fraternity house and see that they’re generally filled with normal private school LSU students and not the boat shoe wearing, polo wearing dickheads that you saw in class and apparently came to the conclusion that every person in a frat looks like.

Very few people are going to be up in arms about the downfall of frats.

Except the most loyal alumni are usually Greek. Schools are being very shortsighted with this mess by changing the students relationship with the school into a transactional “here’s money for a degree” one instead of a “home for life” relationship.

This should be an interesting development to keep an eye on. Those fraternities may not be under the thumb of the university any more as far as their requirements for parties or recruitment or whatever else, but those guys are still students of the university. If they think they aren’t going to be held accountable if something horrible goes down, they are going to have their eyes opened to reality very quickly. My money says they’ll be dealt with much more harshly now than they would have been otherwise.

I didn’t meet anyone who worked a “real job” to get by in college. If you want to meet those people, go to trade school

Lulz. Most of the people I knew in college, even the rich kids with free rides, worked for drug money. Employment in bars were better social conduits than Greek life.

Working for drug money at a bar isn’t a real job
