  1. For decades, I have been a broken record calling to #BeLikeCanada and #BanCollegeFrats. This is based on my student experience in a #fraternity in #Canada and then 30+ years of teaching in #HigherEd in the #UnitedStates. I have not seen anything like what #PennState has just discovered, but it does *not* surprise me. “Animal House” was tame compared to reality in many #fraternities. onwardstate.com/2026/08/17/14-

  2. The only thing I got out of four years of #fraternity rush was the ability to make small talk and arrive at snap decisions regarding a person’s character.

  3. There is a flaw in the system


    Hello

    If this is your first visit, welcome to Musings. Today I am musing about fate or the flaw in the system. If you have been here before, welcome back. Over time we are going to talk about many things: the past, the present, perhaps the future, travel,

    New Car

    Three weeks ago I finally replaced my 2008 van.

    It had been a great ride. We drove from Florida to central Mexico and back five times and up to new York and surrounds several. It hauled paintings and plants and an unimaginable variety of stuff over the years, never complaining, always dependable. In the end it had dents, a cloudy GPS screen, a broken side mirror and failing paint. But it still ran, never complaining.

    It took a long time for me to let go. It was like I was forsaking an old friend. Letting go when the chaise showed age for a new shiny ride. Ah . . . well, I went ahead just the same.

    I bought a new Subaru Outback, shiny, full of features and with a reputation of reliability and safety. The first house I bought cost half the price of the car.

    Two days later I was rear ended . . . stopped in traffic and “BAM bam”.

    The officer said, “She hit you twice didn’t she? Yeah, they hit you the first time and the momentum carries them forward and they hit you the second. Yep, That’s what happened.”

    My assailant was a young woman aged 21. She had just bought her car, aged 24. They told her “It was in good shape”. Was is the key word. Not anymore.

    I felt sorry for her. She looked so defeated. She claimed “the brakes failed“. The officer said, “They all say that“. The boy friend said he put brake fluid in her car that afternoon. Who knows? Fortunately she had insurance.

    So now I needed to deal with the insurance company, State Farm. They were very accommodating, approving the repair, a rental car for the time the car was being repaired with a list of approved repair companies close to me . . . all in about ten minutes.

    The next day I went to the approved repair garage I had selected and did the paperwork. And we ran into a problem . . . .!

    The car is a new model . . . too new. The dealers don’t have replacement parts. Who knows when they will have them?

    I wonder what my old van would think about this.

  4. Why hasn’t THE #OhioState University removed the name of THE notorious #LesWexner (co-conspirator in the #EpsteinFiles ) from its Medical Center? 🤔

    Are #fraternity bros admitted to their Medical School called the ‘#EpsteinClass.’?

  6. Court docs say drinking games led to NAU student’s death

    New court documents said the NAU student who died at a fraternity house was participating in drinking games before his death, where he drank large amounts of vodka from two handles. Three fraternity leaders were arrested. Mason Carroll has the timeline and what members searched online hours before that raises chilling questions.

  9. The President of #TexasAandM ‘University’ has resigned because a #trans faculty member taught about #gender in literature that reflects gender in real life, but not gender in the imaginary world of #AlternativeFacts in the #MAGA #cult. thepinknews.com/2025/09/19/tex

    Sadly, #TAMU is now really just an #NFL farm team run by a military #fraternity masquerading as a #university.

  10. Charles Spurgeon was a particular Baptist preacher in London. He says that upon seeing very poor people in other countries, only a very “poor Christian” wouldn’t immediately thank God for giving them more. Not as they deserve.

    Some today would object, saying these poor kids chose regimes that voted against us in the UN, rejected free enterprise and godliness.

    How can you develop Spurgeon’s attitude?

  12. One can glimpse the chaotic untruthful mind of #Trump by his outbursts re today's Constitution Avenue parade. He lies about WW2 & WW1. The UK held Hitler at bay in 1940, & the Soviet Union lost at least 27 million, & between 1941 & 1944 accounted for 90% of Wehrmacht casualties. #ClimateCrisis #RejoinEU #Peace #Fraternity
