American/UK comrades, are you involved in fraternities/sororities? (lemmygrad.ml)

Was reading some biographies of American/British communists during the Cold War, a couple of them were in fraternities in college. I find it somewhat amusing that Greek life is supposed to be evil. But that didn't seem to stop them from being Tankie. I saw some fraternities flying the Palestinian flag outside their houses when I visited Columbia University New York, strange and funny. Lemmygrad, as ML, are you guys involved in Greek life or similar student organizations? Why/why not?

There are a lot of frat boys out there that are actually quite progressive or even leftist.

BUUUUUTTT... I honestly have a low opinion of frats in general, tbh.

Too many, err, "horror stories," so to speak, never mind the documented controversy that you typically get.
