The United States Bureau of Education reports a nationwide crusade against high school fraternities with 25 states involved. Thirteen states have laws or city regulations penalizing joining these orders, often by suspension or expulsion, while courts generally allow schools to discipline students within discretionary powers. William R. Hood notes college fraternities do not mirror the high school trend.
