These organizations are still a business. $ keeps these businesses afloat. Every fraternity/sorority has to pay dues to maintain a good standing with the university, district, and national headquarters.
And these idiot organizations that are banned/suspended or whatever are doing it all wrong and going against what they were initially founded for. Put that up with them...not the ones who are actually doing it right.
It's still gang mentality famthe ones that get caught are just sloppy with their's. No matter what you say, it's not gonna change that fact, whether you want to accept it or not. I don't even feel like explaining why right now, but it's fairly obvious. Were the organizations founded on those prinicples? No. Unfortunately, it just evolved into that over the years.
Also, I don't think that the phrase 'paying for friends' implies that they pay the actual chapter, it just says that they are paying period. However, I don't agree with that 'paying for friends' stuff anyway.

Even us in organizations point out the same nonsense...dudes that have some new found courage because they know (or think) they have their boys to back them up.
This happens all the time, you gotta overlook those people. Other than that, frats get so much negative press that people completely disregard the positive effects that we have on the community. I won't go beating that horse. I can't explain it to you if you've already formulated your opinion anyways.
That's probably because they just joined some organization to join...with little to no acknowledgment of the history they joined or legacy they followed...and probably didn't join or get picked up by whom they wanted to join with anyways.
I'm not saying that all frats are detrimental to the community. I know that there a lot out there that actually work to help out others and themselves. I'm mainly taking about those fraternities like my bros that seem to have no special to offer but drinking, smoking, partying, and who would kill themselves if they lost a football game to their rival frat. I just don't understand how serious this has to be. I'm all for pride in the organizations that your involved in but damn at one point the lines can get blurry.
We joke around and call ourselves a gang/cult all the time so...I'm failing to see why this matters.
Sounds like basic stereotyping to me. Sure...the KKK was around. Does that make every White person racist? No.

Sure...there are similarities. And?
and what? that's what most of us are arguing.
just because you seem like a normal guy in a normal frant doesn't mean that the majority of frats that act like pseudo gangs. you know those frats of a bunch of people but would never shoot the fair but when those drunk balls kick in and they got 4 of their brothers with them, then it's go time.
those kids that never sold weed but got a ill hook up purely by being in the frat and go on to act like they are escobar reincarnated. those frats that beat the living @@*@ out of each other over dumb stuff. usually over a girl or someone steppin on their shoes. theres gang tendencies in all frats, some more than others.
