“Colleges are often perceived as leaning left, but research by social scientists at the University of Iowa suggests the reality is more nuanced and that higher education attracts students from across the political spectrum… fraternities and sororities in particular tend to be a locus for students who are more conservative than those not in the Greek system.” Watch the video and find out what John Iadarola and Lisa Ferguson think on TYT University! What do you think about this research? Does your experience with those in frats confirm it?

The president of my frat is one of the most liberal people I’ve ever met
I’m in a frat, and these guys don’t know what they’re talking about
Interesting, I had no idea. Thanks bro.
Please she should not talk….horrible voice…but she looks hot
2:03-2:08 is spot on.
I dunno, I think it’s because all the nonsense propaganda about capitalism just doesn’t fucking take with me and it never did. Same as how religion never took with me.
I prefer the idea that we’re all together trying to survive on a planet with limited resources and should just work out a way to make it work sustainably for everybody, including nature.
The idea that someone should just be able to claw together as much as they can doesn’t even appeal a LITTLE to me at all. Fuck that shite.
Explains why I never liked frat people… Like… at all.
Actually in general I really dislike rich people anyway. It’s not even envy. I’d rather just see the upper class completely GONE and not replaced by anyone. I honestly don’t give a shit about the conservative bullshit about who deserves what for whatever crap reason they told themselves today.
I’m all up for just having the entire population being about middle-class (or even lower class) I LIKE egalitarianism ALOT as an idea.
thats the way my college is it seems like everyone is greek at troy but i also live in alabama so its kinda of already heavily republican even tho majority of the state is poor and doesn’t make sense to be a heavily republican but thats also because education here sucks.. its a sad cycle
That’s because not all Frat and Sorority kids are joining them to have sex and drink. It’s actually a fantastic way to meet lifelong partners in your field of study and help establish a strong network later on.
It’s in reference to Fraternities and Sororities.
fox news must be begging lisa to take of job from them
I don’t understand American university at all, what is Greek anyway?
1. yes, I am calling republican behaviour as douche bags. Yes, I am, there track record supports it.
2. “As if conservatives align with gop.” I have never made this point, your making a straw man argument. Your searching for something to argue that no one said. If anything, the fact you argue the distinction should be supporting my point because I didn’t call conservatives douche bags, I called republicans.
here’s what wrong with your comment:
1. you’re calling a group of people douche bags because they have different political beliefs
2. you say republican instead of conservative, as if all conservatives align with the gop.
lol lets stop and think about what your saying. Your saying, that simply because I said the word “republican” I insinuate the fact that I implying conservative. However, the foundational thesis of your point, is the that there is a difference between between republicans and conservatives. Lol, dude if you can’t figure out how your arguing yourself, then I can’t help your circular reasoning.
now….look really hard, I mean REALLY HARD and point out where I said anything about conservative beliefs. I mean put on those extra strength goggles of yours and read the comment.

are you retarded? the point i was trying to make is that you said republicans instead of conservatives, as if you believe that republicans are the only political party with conservative beliefs, which btw is completely incorrect…
please point out where I said the word “conservative” in my comment. Put on your reading goggles and look really hard.
You should do some research on fraternities in other countries, too. Actually I am amused by frats from the US, but German and Austrian frats for example are a bit more hardcore and conservative than yours. Read into it! It if fascinating and quite “scary” at the same time.
……………read the comment. What part do you see the word “conservative.”
someone needs to work on there reading skills.
I thought Greek life makes men more prone to have anal sex with other men? You know the Greeks in ancient history right? WAKA WAKA. (Waiting for my thumbs down)
republicans aren’t real conservatives, idiot…
republicans want tax cuts, conservatives do not believe that tax cuts stimulate the economy so they do not support them.
Why are we surprised that 4 years of date rape, and being told you are better than everyone else makes you more conservative?
