      i assume it’s to prepare students to life outside, where they will be bullied and excluded

      Ideally it’s a social club. I didn’t plan on joining a fraternity in college, but I was invited to join by friend who were in one. It’s a specifically anti hazing organization and has a leadership education program that we all did that probably would have been really useful if I wasn’t a shit head college student. I still play D&D with friends I made there who I may not have met otherwise.

      Like any social club the culture comes from the members, if you have a bunch of exclusionary bullies then that’s what you get, and that’s all too common.
