College fraternities

Fraternities and sororities have become a sizably voluminous part of the college life over the years. Here at Bloomsburg we have fourteen fraternities and thirteen sororities. This semester I had the gratification of joining the International fraternity Zeta Psi. Though I have been very incipient in my life, it has become an astronomically immense part of my life here at Bloomsburg. Zeta Psi is our only international fraternity on campus, which is what made it appeal to me over the other fraternities

College Cliques Students will be going to college soon, and it will be a whole new world. Upcoming freshman will see new faces, personalities, and looks all in the same place. High school has cliques; however, a college has more. Most students are grouped into cliques because they have similar personalities and backgrounds, so it makes them feel at home. A college has a massive variety of cliques; the most famous are frat, sorority, athletes, and honor. Frat One type of clique is the frat boys.

HBCU Greek organizations are one of the most prospective and student sanctioned organizations. They have the representation to either be a great organization where the concept of charity and family is govern. Or they can be the source of reckless activities and worse of it all hazing. Throughout the articles, I gathered that these organizations can either be a source of inspiration or the student’s downfall. In S.Rogers, C. Rogers, T Anderson’s 2012, article EXAMINING THE LINK BETWEEN PLEDGING, HAZING

Rationale For my written task 1, I will write a satirical article describing a fraternity at a US university.The subject matter will be mainly about masculinity, and how it would look if the ideal traits of a masculine person were changed. I will be working with Part One of the English HL course, specifically under the topic of language and gender. The text that I will be working with will be the documentary that we watched, “Tough Guise 2”. The task is meant to explore masculinity through the

products and practices that are able to shed light on the philosophical, political, socio-cultural norms, and perspectives of a particular society.1 Thus, these products shape the worldview of a cultural group. Within patriarchal subcultures, such as fraternities, song lyrics reflect socially constructed dominant masculinities that members are encouraged to adopt and engage in. From Rugby Road to Vinegar Hill, a drinking song made prominent by U.Va’s Glee Club in the late 1940’s, captures the socially

College is a tremendous chapter in one's life. It is simply not about school, but it is about the difficulties one faces and opportunities that open. In the end, an incoming freshman ultimately desires the "college experience," also known as fun. There are countless of entertainment in college. It can be through parties, be with friends, or becoming involved with the school. Most of the time, incoming college students want to be a part of their college as much as possible.

may start as a fun tradition that is performed in different groups, it can become very tragic. Hazing takes place in high schools, sports, and fraternities which has led to an increase in media attention due to victims revealing personal accounts of hazing incidents. Hazing can take place anywhere whether it be high school, college, sports, or fraternities. Other terms used for hazing are “hell week”, “help week”, and “initiation”. When one is trying to determine whether or not the situation is considered

The world spun is every direction around me. There was a sharp, shooting pain in my calf and shoulder. I was soaking wet and coughing water, I could hear faded voices screaming. My whole body felt like it was on fire, it became unbearable and I blacked out. It all started on a cold December night. It didn’t start out bad, but I can’t say the same for how it ended. It was Delilah’s annual Christmas party, the music was blasting and we were all having a great time, until they showed up. The

become an activity that is banned in forty-four states (Wagner,16). However, this ritual has not been stopped or become less severe. In fact, it is becoming more dangerous. Since it has been banned, with many colleges imposing their own penalties against those participating in it, many fraternities and sororities have pursued this activity in an underground fashion. Since these groups have gone underground, some victims of these rituals have been injured and subsequently died. This is due to the “hazers”
