The opposite happens here, you even have a Vice President coming to the defense of a murder suspect, and his only basis is that he looked into his eyes and was convinced of his innocence. What a joke our country is with people like this. Until we become mature enough as a people to have fraternities they should simply be banned. I guarantee you nobody will miss them save for the power hungry leaders of these gangs. There are many countries in the world that don't have fraternities and they are doing just fine. By the way, Harvard, one of the best schools in the world, doesn't have fraternities. In their view, students should feel a fraternity with their fellow students, so Harvard students help other Harvard students. Fraternities just split campuses, so their loyalty is no longer to their fellow schoolmates but to their fraternities many of whom don't even go to the same school.
