For the sake of argument, though, I went to a couple of parties at Beta my freshman year, and I would be surprised if it has changed that much since then.

Claiming that all fraternities are immoral based on second hand accounts (I assume you haven't been to my house) and what happened in Animal House would be like me saying that the entire Christian religion is immoral because some Catholic preists sexually abused children. Beta, and most fraternities on this campus, have done quite a bit to fight the "frat" stigma that clearly pervades this campus. The Beta Theta Pi fraternity is one that is based on high moral standards and one that operates accordingly, in the future, before you make potentially offensive comments about something you know little about, I would challenge you to think twice, and do some research. Come down to the house sometime, I think you'll be surprised. Though I can understand why you might have that impression you are, in this case generalizing to an unreasonable extent.

Though it seems to me that any spirit with as strong a moral center as Evelyn reportedly has would have left Beta and most other frat houses on campus after seeing the activities that go down annually during a typical Rush week. Perhaps she hates infidelity but likes to party? Great article Kegan!
