Things have changed quite a bit in the last couple of decades. Universities recognize the need to incorporate all students into the community. Along with a burgeoning set of student groups, club sports, etc. colleges have made it a point to create residential colleges and similar style living arrangements so that students have a community that's easy to access as they need it.
This is true. However the residential colleges are also becoming more closely managed by the universities themselves. If one likes University admins policing everything then go for it. I don't, this is top down group think.

It is the actors or the institutions. It's mostly the individuals that muddy the frats ideals as stated not frats muddying individuals. Frats are far from synonymous as well.
I could say this ''The level of groupthink I saw at times was disturbing. I know many will disagree with me, and that's ok, but
the college of liberal arts life has outlived most of it's utility IMO. The potential negatives far outweigh the positives.'' Reform not destruction is the best coarse for both.
