UK has a serious binge drinking problem with young adults both at home and at holiday destinations. Their and other overseas media reports on it frequently.
Stereotype much, LOL.
What, did you get turned down? I didn't and I had a great time. As did my son (class of '19) when he pledged.
The UK and Europe doesn't have frats house and fraternities or sorority, so I am not sure what I am supposed to have been turned down from.
As for sterotyping, Britain is 25th in the world in terms of alcohol comsumption.
The French, Germans, Portugese and Austrialians drink more alcohol units that the British, as do Russia and most of Eastemr Europe, whilst other European countries such as Denmark, Spain, Switzerland, Belgium etc and countries such as New Zealand are just below British Consumption levels.
My problem with fraternities/sororities is that they’re single sex, and this can result in traditional gender roles.
Gender roles reinforced by single sex institutions following traditions.
why in the world would you think friendships between women in a sorority is a bad thing? do you have any women friends? are you against all women having women friends?
you made a pretty sexist statement, redguitar, by assuming women having friendships with other women "result in traditional gender roles". good grief....do you think women are dumb??

That’s not what I was saying at all. Where did you get any of that from?
A Cornell University freshman found dead in an upstate New York ravine in October attended a fraternity party with seven drinking rooms the night before he went missing, according to a lawsuit filed by his parents.
Antonio Tsialas, an 18-year-old from Miami, went missing on Oct. 24. His body was found two days later in a gorge in Ithaca.
When he was found, the teen still had on a sweatshirt he wore to the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity party, according to the lawsuit filed Wednesday in Tompkins County Supreme Court in Ithaca. A white shirt he had been wearing underneath was located along the side of the gorge in a bush.
The white shirt had vomit on it and the imprint of a shoe or sneaker, the suit says. The teen’s cellphone was not found.
His parents, Flavia Tomasello and John Tsialas, are suing the fraternity, the Ivy League school and several Phi Kappa Psi members, alleging negligence and premise liability. They are seeking damages.
I'm somewhat liberal and a lot of the reason why is the type of behavior I saw in our fraternity house. Brett Kavanaugh would have been right at home in my frat house.
Well, frat houses are definitely a different story - especially when the alcohol is flowing.
I can remember waking up a couple of new pledges who had passed out at one of the more rowdy fraternities and telling them 'you cannot stay here".
Raise self confident, intelligent children who don't feel the need to join a silly little club to feel important or accepted.
