I was a scholarship athlete at Duke years ago.
I never was into the Greek scene, and while I did not partake in or approve of the Greek excesses, I did not take them as seriously as Ms. Van Buskirk, well, because, I am not sure 18-22 year olds in a privileged, comfortable environment behave that all that well anywhere. I myself was exceedingly respectful of women - carefully so - I was afraid to do anything that would imperil my status at the school.
One thing that Ms. Van Buskirk misses, and I think it is a significant oversight - is Duke's culture (and other schools like it) of money.
Duke had plenty of Ms. Van Buskirks, trained to see the evil in "isms" - sexism, capitalism, and so on. But it was not a friendly place for someone who was poor. I was poor, and from an unemployed single mother home. And the level of condescension, combined with the general lack of life experiences, was bothersome. I used to chuckle in my honors program when my classmates went on and on about the glories of trade unions and the like. They certainly never worked in one - I did. I was a Teamster and a slaughterhouse worker and could relate what those experiences were like, including the often abused notion that these institutions consistently worked on behalf of working class people. Oh, well, what did they know?
I am not being entirely fair in my criticisms. Ms. Van Buskirk likely comes from middle class upbringing (or higher), like most of all Duke. These folks have the luxury of prevaricating about isms - I didn't - I didn't have a place to live in the summer and was worried about survival.
Some food for thought.
