28. I did not say that colleges "spnosored" the Greek systems...

My only comment concerning Rand Paul his is acceptance of racism in which you stated you agreed with him. Any other issues with Rand Paul you would like to bring up in specific to this conversation not related to the OP is a canard and intellectually dishonest.

Colleges and universities across the US have decertified Greek letter organizations on their campuses. It essentially kills that organization because they can't do anything on campus but I am sure you are less than well read and missed those issues in the local and national news. There are also negative consequences to the frat/sorority house from the national organization when they are punished or reprimanded by a college or university.

If Greek letter parent organizations support racists ideology they should be called out on it. My guess is they don't officially support racists policies. The University of Alabama sorority has changed its position and is now allowing black women into the sorority in question. I wonder why the change came about so quickly?
