NTA for offering college funding with reasonable conditions

NTA. Fraternity life is shit . Protection for your kids . No drugs also good stay focused on studies. Maintains high gpa . I kind of agree with this? A little lax might be needed if they are having a hard time but I agree otherwise. Party once a month . I mean kids will be kids . Nice to have a little fun . Your children sound like they mean well . But the one who didn’t go needs to wake up . The point of college is to further an education . The experience is overrated and stupid IMO . If you’re paying 50k for school , you have a say in what happens and to not waste money . For sure NTA

“YTA. You imposed a $50k consequence on your kid before he did anything wrong “
