You can be an upstanding person on your own. You can live a life of excellence on your own. You can make friends who will look out for you. And, yes, you can be part of a group, and be proud of your group, and want your group to do well. You don't – and shouldn’t – have to be in an organization with a sadly rich history of violence, sexism, and corruption to attain all of this. You have to be really insecure to want to sacrifice your morals just to make sure you have a safety blanket when you graduate.
