It's rent-a-friend. Also, a license to be a snob, especially if the Great Unwashed can't afford dues.

There's so many things wrong with this system.

There are good and bad qualities. I would never be in one. But there are also some, for example, black fraternities and sororities that are a lifeline for minorities on a mostly-white campus.

It truly depends on the campus and chapter. I was anti-Greek for a long time, but that's because UA has one of the most (maybe THE most) toxic Greek life cultures in America. I've heard better things from other places.
 
It's tough to close these things down at private colleges -- particularly at those in which the Greek system is the social life. So many happy/drunken memories of the college are tied to the frat culture that the administration fears that eliminating Greek orgs will kill annual giving.
