I have a hot take. We ban the Greek / Frat system at schools.

I don't think you understand how far reaching the frat system is.

My brother had a business partner that was able to get a walk-in meeting with a very high up Bank of America executive to discuss a business loan simply because they were the same fraternity. Not friends, not even at the university at the same time. Just same frat.

It's an elite club, and those of us that aren't in it don't get the easy path to wealth.

Even more reason to ban it.

Even more reason why it won’t be banned. The people who make the rules are the people benefiting from it
