The absence of a possible resolution leaves a window for any reader’s interpretation.

College; some look for the experience to open their minds in extending their educations; as others look at it as the first step towards adulthood and running away from home as fast as possible. Sororities and fraternities have been around for decades with America’s blind eye turned towards the injustices that encompass the stigma.

I would like to start off by saying how much Alpha Phi has impacted me my entire life. Some of my favorite childhood memories were with my mom going up to CU Boulder to attend State Day, and get tours of the new house at the School of Mines in Golden.

I looked up to these women from a young age.

The reason that this Fraternity sticks out so far from the rest is because they skip the traditional fraternal activities such as charity and Community outreach and instead teach men what they’re recalling going to need to live a fulfilling life. Each chapter makes sure to only exemplify the highest level of masculinity, with activities including mass sexual assault, alcohol poisoning, and even team-building activities like Cocaine trafficking to really prepare them for the workforce. While some may argue that these activities are not as beneficial to man’s future as the altruistic acts that many run-of-the-mill fraternities execute, SAE would have to disagree, saying that they do real manly things and that those who do good for their communities are just whiny, pushover babies and not nearly as much of men as those in the SAE

Throughout my pledge process, I always questioned myself. I questioned whether I should even be joining a fraternity and if it’s the right thing for me. I questioned if I even could fit the persona that these brothers wanted me to be. These types of questions tore me apart throughout my pledge process, however… they lead me to ask myself another question which has shaped me to the brother I am today. That question is, ‘what can I contribute to this chapter, while being myself?’ By continuously asking myself this, I am given a reason to keep on climbing to bigger and better things. This has allowed me to make those early and essential connections with brothers during my pledge process which then helped me push my fellow pledge brothers along with me to the end.
