<p>As colleges come under intense pressure to reduce sexual assault, binge drinking and hazing, they are increasingly looking at their fraternities.</p>

<p>'bout time. Looking at frats is what they have doing for a long time. Getting rid of those cancers is quite different! </p>

<p>Hey…don’t you like The Stork!!!</p>

<p>Little known fact, the “Stork” co-founded the National Lampoon, helped write Caddyshack, and if he hadn’t died young (1980) likely would have been as well known as his friend Harold Ramis. Long live the Stork!</p>

<p>Back on track here, I am glad that schools are looking into this and hope to see some cracking down. I’m not against the greek system (loved my own sorority days at a college that was/still is 30% greek), but recognize that some of this behavior is really out of control. I am quietly glad that the school S will attend does not have fraternities.</p>
