Fraternity hazing

Fraternities and sororities are social organizations and the colleges and universities they have been around for a very long time. Since 2005 more than 60 people have died in fraternity related incidents, Fraternities and Sororities now at a record of 750,000 members provide invaluable leadership training, networking opportunities, emotional and academic support. Why should there be greek life on campus? Because it helps with college students, it gives you a place to live on campus, makes you feel

pointing it out. They’re comfortable sharing a home that may contain just a few items in owl or key patterns. And their children have been rocked to sleep to “Dream a While of Kappa.” On May 19, 2018, England’s Prince Harry joined that special fraternity of Kappa men, inheriting the owl, the key and the fleur-de-lis when he married Meghan Markle, Northwestern. And like other Kappa couples, Harry and his bride were treated to a cherished Kappa tradition—the “Oh Pat” serenade—as they exited Windsor

Most of the friends I made during my first year of college became my friends due to joining a sorority. In a sorority or fraternity, you will not only make friends, but you will raise money for charity and gain many other skills, such as leadership skills. Being part of Greek life means you also must maintain a certain GPA to be able to join or stay in the sorority or fraternity. If you do not obtain the grade average needed they will also help you achieve your academic goals by helping you study

I am writing this nomination letter in support of my sorority sister Abby Cater. There are many reasons as to why I believe she is deserving of the Member of the Year Award. As our Philanthropy Vice President, Abby has worked tirelessly to meet our philanthropy goals and improve our events. The role of Philanthropy Vice President requires constant work throughout the year and many of it is done behind the scenes. Only Abby’s closest friends have seen the effort she has poured into her position this

education was one of my ultimate goals in life. A goal that I am currently achieving. However, I never imagined myself joining fraternity. Not to mention, that I have always thought that all fraternities are "the same," members spend their spare time drinking alcohol and spanking potential new members with paddles. Then, in the Fall of 2015, Psi Sigma Phi Multicultural Fraternity Incorporated gained a new chapter, the Eminent Sigma Chapter, here at Felician University—the fraternity's eighteenth chapter

The thing I would be able to give back to the Latino community and La Unidad Latina is my support. Support can go a long way if its shower right. I will support every event or occasion occurring in the community or with that fraternity. Any type of help that I can provide that’s what will be given. When you see people that truly support what you do you tend to feel better about it. What is better then a really big outcome on an event that you planned? That’s a great feeling, you feel very successful

leadership position within Zeta Beta Tau (ZBT) fraternity. Like some of my new brothers, I was wary of Greek life upon entering college, but my mindset changed after meeting the brothers of ZBT and realizing that they broke every negative fraternity-related stereotype possible. As one of the youngest fraternities on campus, there was an array of leadership opportunities available for new members as well as the ability to help shape the culture of the fraternity. Since ZBT removed their pledge process in

domination of these elite realms creates a desire to understand the inherent nature of fraternity and sorority culture. Greek organizations are noted as the training grounds that bolster traditional, and potentially harmful definitions of gender and sexuality as well as promote the pursuit of power and prestige within its members.3 In Inside Greek U: Fraternities, Sororities, and the Pursuit of

Since 1750, starting with the Flat Hat Club, fraternities have been an essential aspect of social life for numerous college settings. Over 75 nationally recognized fraternities have been established in universities around the nation. This has caused many different opinions toward these secret societies. Universities have made the push to permanently remove fraternities from campuses. Racial slurs being streamed online, mass reports of sexual assault, and excessive financial obligations are but only

Op-Ed Why I Did Rush Lindsay Futch, Georgia Southern, penned this response to “Why I Didn’t Rush,” an article by Lorena Roberts that appeared on The Odyssey in 2016. I knew going into college that I wanted to join a sorority. I was a legacy and felt the need to carry on that legacy. However, what ended up happening was not what I had in mind. Instead, I created my own legacy by joining a different sorority than those of my family members. But what I came to find was that the chapter that I chose
