The worst job I have ever seen my mother work growing up was when she became a cook for a frat house at UC Berkeley. Seeing privileged young white males boss my mom around made me feel like she was a slave to those dickheads. I have never been a fan of any sort of fraternity, no matter the color, because I know that their roots go deep in racism and sexism. Plus, I don’t see why men need to have spanking parties to prove their masculinity. Read what the DeMoulin Brothers & Co. of Greenville, Illinois, stated in their 1908 catalog of frat house and lodge torture devices:
