Every August, college sorority recruitment videos go viral on social media and sometimes spark a debate on whether sorority girls are based, conservative, or future feminists in the making.
Here's a recent video out of Arizona State University (an infamous party school) that made the rounds on X:

Typically, big MAGA influencer accounts pretend that liberals get offended by the dancing sorority girls. I'm not sure that's the case at all, and it wouldn't shock me if at least a third of the girls in the video, if not more, vote Democratic every election. Perhaps they're not even political.
But here's a question I don't see asked enough: where are the fathers?
Around this time last year, I wrote how sorority recruitment videos are a good sign for America. Seeing that so many young people are depressed and anxious and addicted to phones, college kids having fun in the real world by making dance videos (even if they post them on their phones) can't be all that bad. Right?
No. This year, I'm changing my tune.
A little bit older, and hopefully a little bit wiser, I see these "Rusktok" videos and shudder with fear — fear for my future daughter. From day one, I will be propagandizing her not to join a sorority. If she does join a sorority, it will be the nerdier one without mean girls. In fact, I might even tell her she can skip college — if, and only if, she has a job lined up or a real plan of action.
Why?
American colleges have become an expensive joke. Schools jack up tuition. They build fancy amenities. They hire more administrators than actual good professors. They trap kids in student debt.
Meanwhile, most kids do not spend four years learning anything of substance, earning a degree whose value over the past several decades has been diluted despite the raising costs of tuition. Girls, of course, join sororities and post soft-core porn on TikTok. People care more about the parties and getting laid than anything else.
This not the kind of environment I want my daughter in. It ain't it. It's expensive, shallow and, worst of all, degrading.
