This sentence from the article stunned me: “At the University of South Carolina, three-quarters of the school’s chapters — 18 in all — have been closed or put on probation in the past three years for drug, hazing and alcohol violations, the Columbia Free Times reported this week.”
I am surprised by the huge scale of drug dealing described in the article, across multiple universities. I agree the practice of using fraternity pledges as drug couriers to other students is especially concerning.
