I am not a huge fan of fraternities, but I'm not particularly hostile to them either. Why the sweeping ban when only 1/3 of the frats are under investigation? Sororities are OK, too. There is something underneath this, and its tied it to OSU corporatism. Look at High Street, Tear down numerous local businesses to build McDorms and OSU offices. The Sophomore Rule that forces most 2nd year students to live in dorms. A growing preachy move to control student life off campus. The destruction of South Campus. Its inroads into North Campus. Heck, they were even up in Glen Echo awhile back siccing the city on homeowners for peeling paint. Something is going on, and it reeks of Campus Partners or something similar. Frats are on prime real estate. They, like other groups in the area, are not owned and operated by OSU and something has to be done about them. If some fraternities are out of compliance with OSU policy fine. They can be banned. But as a class? Something reeks. It's not as if OSU operates on some high moral principles. is is all about control and there is much more to this story.
