These groups have no redeeming social value notwithstanding some collection bucket for "kids with cancer" as a pretext for more drinking, abuse, and sexual assault. The perception of fraternities is well deserved and earned: excessive drinking, hazing, bullying, and sexual abuse of female students. Likewise sororities: social cruelty, racism and classism, bullying, and aggressive pressure to conform. Some charitable activity does not come close to balancing the death and destruction of these gangs. Since 1970 there has been at least one death per year associated with fraternity hazing. Fraternities aren’t the only sketchy organization to use philanthropy to cover for other activities. Hell’s Angels donate toys to underprivileged children every year – but the Department of Justice still considers them an organized crime syndicate. Student life at colleges and universities would be improved if fraternities and sororities did not exist.
