[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 723572, member: 1233"] At least in high school there is some degree of parental supervision in most cases. In college you have young adults mixing with over 21 adults in party atmospheres. There is no real supervision. If you add in peer pressure and the greek system, you can get some real tragedies. I was always flabbergasted at my mother's view of the greek system, but she only saw greek students as the higher performing students in many clubs and classes. She didn't know that they had test banks and even project banks where members were REQUIRED to get copies of tests if at all possible, even if they had to hand copy the test questions if a teacher didn't let them keep copies of the tests, just to add to the banks. This was so that future pledges and members could work on homecoming floats all night for the week before the parade and still get good grades. It was so they looked good on paper, not so they learned anything. Given the way the people in the greek system stick together once they are out of college, these are people running corporations and politics. They hire each other and recommend each other. They had no morals in college and kept each others' secrets. They also blackmailed those who might have had morals or thought about turning them in for things that were awful. Then they had to keep turning a blind eye and playing the game once they were out of college in the real world. Now they keep doing those things. This is part of why our world and our system is so messed up today. At least that is my opinion. [/QUOTE]
