Why is Greek Life so Segregated?

<p>AnnieBeats - I believe you misread my post. I did not suggest that college was “just about academics.” I simply stated that, in my opinion, colleges should not engage in moral training. Of course, there will be certain moral or ethical standards with which students are expected to comply. Behavior such as harassment that society as a whole deems unacceptable, can and should be prohibited at university campuses. But beyond this very basic foundation, universities should not be trying to shape students’ religious or moral beliefs.</p>

<p>You mention investigating greek organizations that “have had only Caucasian members for more than a decade.” The simple fact is these all white fraternities and sorrorities you mention don’t exist outside the old South, and segregation in the old South is a product of culture, not the greek system. I don’t know anything about you, but based on your posts, I doubt you have any experience with the greek system. If you did, I doubt you would conflate the greek system in general with the greek systems at a few universities in the old South. </p>
