My daughter chose to go to a college that didn't have frats just to avoid the sort of crap that goes on in these places.  And my husband chose not to join one at Stanford, rather opted for an eating club, where he made many lifelong friends. He was glad that Stanford had that alternative option.

 

We have eating clubs?? I'm a current student in a fraternity and have never heard of this.

The verb tense should (unfortunately) be "had". They were abolished in the 2009-2010 school year. In fairness, it became very difficult to actually run the eating clubs financially. Keeping staff was impossible. One factor that obviously helped the eating clubs was that the dorm food on campus wasn't very good (best case). As the dorm food improved, their customer base dwindled.
