As someone from the US, you're not wrong.

They meant something a few hundred years ago. For about 4 decades they've been resulting in spreading STDs, experiencing alcohol poisoning, and individual probation status for consistently getting the lowest test scores on campus.

Every group is a cultists group by those standards

Fraternities are pay-for-sh*tty-friends pyramid schemes. Sororities are the same BUT they need to service the boys at the frat so.....yeah, gross.

They are just a bunch of rich hedonists who exclude the "wrong people" by having a cover price buy in for access.

That was not my experience

@@SiriusMined Maybe not for you, but it was for a lot of people

I am not sure they are really friends. It seems more like the "friends" from joining a cult.

@@SiriusMined Yeah, I'm sure all those people would still be your friends even if you didn't pay. All the girls would have showed up to your parties too. Haha.

Lots of benefits, prob depends on the frat though. Nice to have a gang of people ready to give you a job when you graduate. Frats are gangs lol but skipping being behind on loans and skipping the whining about how worthless your degree might be worth it.

You've probably gained more life experience just from relising this than your whole time spent in the Sorority

@@kirdot2011 I called the greek system "buy a friend" even when I was part of it. But yeah, maybe.

Still have many of these people as friends 40 years later

@@g.t.richardson6311 I guess we all have different experiences. Good for you!

That’s probably more because of your bad attitude. I have TONS of sorority sister friends

I live near Evanston IL. I hear shiz going on way too often there. NWU was in the news earlier this year for shenanigans.

Comment boost.

They should have shut it down after the 1st one, what is wrong with USA? Edit: maybe his father is a judge

what isn't is the more appropriate question @@zurielsss

Disgusting. Sounds like the perfect organization to associate with a place of learning. Why are these groups still a thing?

As bad as women are to men they are absolutely evil against each other.

Well, they are slightly less likely to lead to fatalities. So that counts. I guess.

@@Saje3Dhow so?

​@lyokianhitchhiker Men generally tend to rely more on impulse and are responsible for far more violent crimes every year compared to women. Women, on the other hand, are more reliant on judgement and, while not as violent, tend to hold grudges longer and meticulously plan out revenge as opposed to just punching someone in the face.

⁠@@lyokianhitchhiker they’re probably referring to hazing lol

You're right on there! A home owners association can be worse than a frat. HOAs should be illegal. Even township guidelines are bad enough 😆.

I also breathe air😛 please feed us

YES, Yes and dare I say YES. HOAs should be illegal. I understand LANDLORDS having rules but FUCK off to ANY group of random neighbors dictating what I do with MY house. @@retluoc

Yeah. And these little Nazis will impose their will on those who never wanted to join. My mother was a real estate agent. Her advice to me was to NEVER buy a house in a plan ("subdivision" for those outside of Pittsburgh, LOL) that has an HOA. Fortunately for me these Micronazi outfits are usually in newer developments. My house was built back in the '70s... The 1870s!

You misspelled "rugged individualists", the europoors are the conformists.

Leaving isn't easy. They make you sacrifice so much for it, that it makes leaving very difficult. Time, money, effort. Not only would a member have to face the harshness of all that being a waste, but they'd also have to give up all the conditional friendships they made and learn to venture out into a world without a large group of people who will like them as long as they conform. It's a cult basically, and cult's aren't easy to leave. Leaving is a bit like leaving a village somewhere in the desert and hoping you'll find something out there before you starve. When making friends there is so easy, it makes finding a replacement social life outside of it seem so daunting.

@@sageoftruth The idea is never joining in the first place did not occure to them.

@@LegDayLas Ah.

Sororities are just a bunch of same-looking b****s who have way too much money. I started college way back in 1965 and this is what they were and still are! Waiting for a contradiction!!!

If you aren't aware of what you did wrong, that doesn't mean it suddenly doesn't exist. What are you, twelve?

Clearly you’ve never been through marine boot camp

The hazing is just the method to ease the members into unquestioning unthinking obedience for life.

@@Fixer_Su3ana You think that you're joking, but in the military the techniques to get you to follow orders and become uniform are very similar. As someone who has both pledged a frat and gone to boot camp the similarities are remarkable.

@@u0455294I agree with that. Basic training and AIT is all about brainwashing and conformity. I was in the military for 12 years as well as married into the military.

@@u0455294 I mean I made that post a day after all the fraternities and sororities decided to protest to show their support for militant terrorists who want to destroy everything that is western, modern, and liberal...so I was not kidding about fraternities and sororities brainwashing people!

I don't appreciate hazing from the teachers and staff of these universities just to be saddled with tens of thousands of dollars in tuition with no guarantee of a fucking job!!!!!

Roger seems like the grandfather of Adam from Adam Ruins Everything.

Haha! Corn hole university. 😂🤣💀

Andy "Drew" Bernard would disagree.

Where did you stay?

@@siewheilou399 In the dorms

but did ya die? and btw you stayed till the end so yeah.

Sounds hot

Was this PSU?

And many did just fine with them as well

Cheers to that ☕️

Same

Which uni was this? I wish mine didn’t have any, yours sounded more fun.

@@alexissey4023 It was called University of Wales Lampeter back when I was there. It's now the Lampeter Campus of University of Wales Trinity Saint David after a merger. I was there as an international student from the US. Great experience. Along with the lack of fraternities and sororities, I also appreciated the focus on a student's chosen field of study. I didn't have to mess with useless general education courses like students do here in the US.

Fellow ninja 🙏🏽

U was basically an honorary member

A God amongst men.

Welcome to the silenced majority...

Are you old yet? It's like Abe Simpson said: "The good lord lets us grow old for a reason: To gain the wisdom to find fault with everything he's made!"

How you do it also matters a great deal.

Well, you're still no fun. Grow some charisma, boy :)

Glad you put smart and funny in quotes as he seems like an out of touch dullard.

Comfort where it counts!

you don't have to be perfect - just enough to fool others - like wolves in sheep's clothing

Bro you're paying to follow the college's rules to. It isn't just a fraternity or sorority you you joined them you're also paying to follow the college's rules. Sure they'll probably give you some flexibility compared to your parents, but you're still living under their rules anyway. Either way you're living under someone else's roof so I guess welcome to being under someone else's roof. Even if you own your own land you're still likely paying property taxes.

We gals can be just as mean and nasty as guys!😂

@@janeentumbao8690 Uhhh.... waaay more so! 😼

@@jovetj That's why I prefer to hang out with guys! 😄

Definitely pick something you can turn into a job. Depending on the line of work, it could be covered under trade school, community college, or even tech schools for way cheaper.

Yep! Trade school is the better option :)

@@RedRoseSeptember22 most def

@@DemonicAdj absolutely

Or community college! The one near me is like $400 per semester or something low like that

Haha!

Gasp! Is that where those weird kinks come from?? 😱😱

The Poors are gonna poor, btch moan and complain

Oh god. We had a time selling a 500$ *per year* fraternity dues. That basically covered our insurance and organization fees everything else we did was at cost.

@@revcrussell Not the one future presidents joined then. 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

if only it worked that way - clubs are just as bad as these in many ways. They'll trash your stuff and make you pay for it.

Are Tri-delts infamous everywhere?

@@richardarriaga6271 not sure

@richardarriaga6271 I do know that a few years later they go into trouble for their hazing and were either not allowed to continue or were just put on notice by the school

@@richardarriaga6271yes!!!

@@richardarriaga6271Way back when I started college in 1966 the Tri-deltas were - well, this is what was said - “if st first you don’t succeed, Tri-Delta!!!” If yiu get my drift😏

What's wrong with private schools other than the price?!

@@kirdot2011 Namely religious ones that barely teach science

@@kirdot2011 I went to more than one growing up and I have some stories.

@@redstickham6394 i bet you do

I went to catholic school for five years and I had a couple of teachers who shouldn't never been allowed to teach.

My daughter referred to them as sorostitues. And she never was a fan of them.

They already have that

What a short and boring video that would be

The problem is not the storage units. It's the need for storage units. We buy so much crap that we don't have space for it all in our 3000 sq. ft. homes. How did families in their 3 bed 1 bath homes survive until the 70's, when there were only a few storage units? That's a rhetorical question.

@@fosterfuchs Some teachers use the units for storing physical copies of assignments and exams.

@@fosterfuchs Yard Sale

They pay because all the alcohol they drink isn't free and the frat/sort owns a house the members live in

People are stupid, and insecure, and groupthink is rampant.

They collectively pay for the parties and frat house rent

Coincidentally, finished up my degree after the military. Had zero interest in Greek life, or dorm life for that matter. "Been there, done that."

"Here" being?

I assume you're referring to a trip on Ryanair to a Greek Island, to spend a holiday there that is much longer than in the U.S., since workers get a lot less time off than in Europe.

"Hi, I'm Roger and I'm from Honest Ads and...I'm not even Roger, he's just a character I play because some lazy writers decided Roger Horton sounded better than my actual name."

Okay Honest Ads? ok...well, we summarize random topics in the most snarky and cynical manner possible because we know that you, the viewer, thanks to your upbringing and...perhaps some psychology, equate cynicism and snark to being intelligent and honest, and your waning attention span doesn't give you time to hear and watch anything more nuanced." [Roger] "Yes we can." [chick] "Oooh look a 15 facts about Dentists. Number 8 will SHOCK you!" [dude] ~chick rolls eyes at dude~ "See? Anyway, because of this, nothing seems to work better for attention than slapping Honest in front of something and you will believe it!

[dude] "Well....maybe I do, maybe I don't. But these aren't mine. See, there you go again believing everything I say just because I said it in a snarky, cynical, or "down-to-earth" sort of way, or maybe your just doing what some professionals call, confirmation bias.
