OnceIwasyou, I get what you're saying about elitism, and some houses seeming (or actually being) unwelcoming to students of different racial and economic backgrounds. Different houses have different personalities and cultures, and some of those might be troubling. Regarding troubling culture, I've been watching what's happening at FSU and UF. (This site doesn't allow URLs in posts, so these links won't work. But you can copy/paste them.) FSU suspended all Greek organizations for a while after a student died: orlandosentinel.com/features/education/os-fsu-greeks-suspended-20171106-story.html That was a good move because it put everything on pause so people could take a serious look at the culture and make some changes. UF will have to grapple with problems in its Greek culture as well: alligator.org/news/article_2451fdf6-0d4e-11e8-b793-b350a901d95b.html It's the early days of that story, but already the fraternity involved -- Kappa Sigma -- has been closing ranks. Something toxic is going on, and I expect that UF and/or the Kappa Sigma national organization will suspend the local chapter. It's time for introspection and changes. Separately, yes, this site is a showcase for petty behavior. Many posts are throwbacks to middle school. Part of that is the purpose of this site -- it's greekrank, not greekchatter or greekintelligentdiscourse. It's designed to be frivolous with a focus on social standing. You won't see many serious conversations about the issues you mention (race, looks, money) here, but that doesn't mean they're not happening. They're just not happening here.
