Aparna: I cannot tolerate the nuisance of drug abuse in my current university and thus, I have decided to transfer to a university where there are no fraternities in case nothing is done about the drug problem at this university. Saket: Your plan is not impressive. I don't support the claim that fraternities are responsible for the drug problem at this university.
