I am not for hazing, and Greeks need to get back to recruiting leaders instead of idiots. But there is a movement in higher education to kill Greek life and I believe that it is yet another attack on conservatism.

In my 20 years in higher education, I would guess that white Greek life is 90% conservative.

Maybe not as high as 90% but close. Academics hate Greeks. A bunch of jealous liberal nerd professors picking on students, because they don’t have the nuts to take on conservatives their own age and state.

No question. All of these recent campaigns are right out of the Rules for Radicals playbook. Maybe not an attack on “conservatives” per se, but an attack on culture. It is a nudging if the masses if you will.

It’s the same deal with football. These are all concerted efforts.

They are more representative of establishment Republicans like McCain and McConnell though. Old money doesn't like to upset the status quo.

So are you saying that the Greek system brain washes kids with conservative ideology?

If by brainwashing with conservative ideology, you mean innovating new ways to frick with pledges, drinking copious amounts of alcohol, trying a bunch of different drugs, and encouraging being a poonhound, sure.

College Administrators won’t kill Greeks. Insurance companies will.

Truth. The sad part about it how many 'blue collar' conservatives take the bait and support the 'cleansing'.

Liberals attack 1 segment of the conservative side and moronic conservatives who aren't in that sector support the attack. They attack another small segment, and those not in that segment join in.

You'll be next....

Typical conservative persecution complex & victimhood mentality.

I’m conservative and all but how many kids are going to die before enough is enough. It seems like it happens every year. Its not going to change either. Many of these kids are away from their parents for the first time and they run wild.

Unfortunately the bad ones are going to ruin it for the good ones.

You’d be hard pressed to find one thing in American Culture not under attack. Show me something generally associated with America and I’ll show you someone trying to change it
