How Privatization is Connected
Privatization plays a big role in college life when it comes to college life. If the government releases ownership over something and it is moved to a private owner, they can charge whatever they want. There are no more government regulations.
The concept of privatization doesn't have a direct cause and effect as to how fraternities may affect someones college experience, but I can think of one thing that it may affect.
If Rutgers owns a building, those tenants pay a fixed rate for that service. My fraternity house used to be owned by Rutgers as a whole (I know this is not the same as being owned by the government) and we paid them the same rate every year. Our house was then sold to a private owner and he has been making his own rules ever since. So if we call this privatization, it has affected the fraternity as well as our actions ever since. The presence of a private owner has changed the way we act. Before this owner, it was normal to be breaking holes in the walls of the house and doing other reckless things. Now that this private owner can make his own rules, he does not give any leases for more than one year. Since we don't want to get kicked out, the dynamic in the fraternity has changed and people are taking way better care of the house than anyone else ever has. This is just a small example of how privatization can have an effect on the college life of fraternities, even though there may be more on a larger scale that I don't even know about.
