Stanford's Problem with Blacking Out
Levi Lebovitz explores the recent crackdown on fraternities through a psychoanalytic lens, examining the intersection of achievement culture, anxiety, and excessive drinking.
This fall, Stanford freshmen missed out on infamous all-campus parties like EuroTrash, KAbo, and White Lies, which often create core first-year memories.
The University's crackdown aims to hold fraternities accountable for "transports" - hospitalizations due to excessive drinking - at their parties.
The University seems to believe that fraternities should provide spaces for responsible socialization rather than alcoholic excess.
However, punishing fraternities for transports may only address a symptom of a larger issue.
Author's summary: Stanford's crackdown on fraternities targets symptoms, not the root cause.
