105: College Frats are Elite Gangs! An Exposé on Greek Culture on Campus. Eve Eurydice w Anonymous.

Speak with Eve Eurydice

Eurydice speaks with Michelle Anonymous, a Senior at a Southern University about her research into fraternity life. 50% of young men in American Colleges are in fraternities. Most frats are rich people gangs. The difference is that gangs are criminalized and frats confer respect and honor. Society demonizes one and permits another. Both could be categorized as gangs under the law if judges challenged fraternities’ legal status. Mainstream culture supports «Greek culture» and portrays academia as a bastion of liberalism and wokeness, which Greek culture is not, or it portrays academia as the aspirational apex of a young person’s life. Patriarchy’s Survival depends on this perpetuation of old Rites of Masculinity. Frats propagate the patriarchy in college. Fraternity culture blazes its way through our elite institutions. Shaming and degrading young people teaches them how to become future autocrats. “Greek Culture” provides freshmen with social humiliation, alcohol and drugs; it does not teach them self-defense or survival, but the psychology of obedience, assimilation, and self-negation. Fraternities pass down obsolete hierarchical constructions of meaning in our formal educational setting, copying the military model where initiation requires the loss of individuality. Vows of silence and exclusivity connect fraternities to the camaraderie of recruits, the team fidelity of sports, the fixation on fraternal bonds of freemasons or the Proud Boys—groups that thrive in secrecy. The frat “manspeak” is an intro to the language of men in business. Old patriarchy is reiterated and remodeled via behavior modification that prepares young men to cross over from the role son to that of patriarch.⚡️ For details on frat legacies, hazing, Big and Little relations, fraternity and sister sorority relations, rape culture and Abu Graib-style punishments, listen to the episode.
