idk as an Asian Brit, all I could think about here was how horrifying American frat culture is tbh
In my uni there were lots of student groups, clubs, and societies for various sorts of identities and everybody is accepted at first. There isn't any weird gatekeeping or vetting process like American frats do
Interestingly enough Will and Carlton both have their head on straight. Will emphasized the frat should accept Carlton because he's a dedicated and hard working person, not because of his "high class personality/lineage". Carlton talked about not being class reductionist (but like in the inverse direction? Either way Carlton himself I don't think is really exploiting anybody)
It's only the dad that brought up bad messaging
Frats are just tutorial for country clubs
