<p>It really bothers me re: the problems today’s fraternities are having (BTW - we NEVER called it a “frat”). As I stated above, my fraternity days were and are very important to me. And yes, that was then and the problems are now.</p>
<p>It seems to me that it isn’t necessarily the fraternities that have changed, but the student population and their expectations of fraternity life. Until very recently, the members of my old fraternity seemed to view it as a wide-open residence hall in which they could do whatever they wanted, rather than a fraternal organization, where the members looked out for each other and the fraternity as a whole. Fortunately, the chapter alumni board is making a serious effort to swing the pendulum back, and invest the current members with the real purpose of our fraternity.</p>
<p>Only time will tell.</p>
