Sorority Recruitment Videos Ignite Debate

Every August, recruitment videos from college sororities tend to go viral, often igniting discussions about whether these young women represent conservative values, are liberal, or could be budding feminists.

A recent video from Arizona State University, known for its party scene, has been circulating widely on X:

Often, major MAGA influencers act as if liberals are outraged by the dancing sorority girls. However, I doubt that’s entirely true. It wouldn’t surprise me if a significant portion of the women in that video are Democrats, or perhaps they’re just indifferent to politics altogether.

But I find myself pondering a question that rarely gets asked: Where are the fathers?

Last year, I argued that sorority recruitment videos had a positive vibe for America. With the youth facing so much anxiety and a dependence on technology, seeing college students enjoying themselves through dance videos—even if they share them online—seemed like a good thing, right?

Well, I’m shifting my perspective this year.

A bit older and hopefully wiser, these “Rusktok” snippets now fill me with concern—concern for a future daughter. From the very beginning, I plan to encourage her not to join a sorority. If she insists, I’ll guide her toward one that seems more wholesome and less about the “mean girls.” Frankly, I might even suggest she forgo college altogether unless she has a job or solid plans in place.

Why is that?

Because, honestly, American colleges have turned into a costly farce. Tuition continues to rise while institutions spend lavishly on fancy facilities and hire more administrators than qualified professors, all while students are buried under a mountain of debt.

At the same time, many students spend four years not learning anything meaningful, earning diplomas that have lost their value even as the cost of tuition climbs. Instead, young women join sororities and post suggestive content on TikTok, prioritizing parties and casual relationships over real growth.

This isn’t the environment I envision for my daughter. It’s superficial, expensive, and ultimately demeaning.
