Okay, I would say that it is not men that join but boys.
I have heard of these fraternities you speak of. They seem like places for people without independence and self determination. Would a man join a club in which he is humiliated for initiation in order to serve the hierarchy? Seems like social conditioning to me and alcohol is the conditioner used. I feel ya braa. Gotta fit in. None of that individual free thinking when you join a hive. Ahhaha just pulling ya along! yay go Frat! The old boys club.
All the presidents joined one so it cant be bad. Look what good they do.
