The Real Story About …
July 1, 2009 | 2 Comments
Parties…
The fraternity social scene is visible and well known. Joining a fraternity does have advantages socially. You will meet new people and will be exposed to new cultures. Join a fraternity for the complete fraternity experience, not just to party. Remember that Animal House is a movie and GREEK is a TV show. Find out the real story by asking the brothers.
Hazing…
Every fraternity in the country has instituted a NO HAZING policy. If you are concerned then ask plenty of questions about the process. There is simply no place for hazing in fraternities. Hazing is detrimental to a positive college experience and will NOT be tolerated in the fraternity experience.
Women…
You will have the opportunity to meet countless new people when you join a fraternity. You will also have the opportunity to interact with the opposite sex. Respect and gentlemanly conduct toward women is a value of fraternities world-wide.
Fraternity Houses should be the safest place on a college campus for a woman…GET IT?!
Legacies…
Did your father, brother, uncle, or grandfather join a fraternity? You may want to join the same organization, or maybe not. If these men are valued resources to you then take advantage of their advice but understand that this is ultimately YOUR decision.

Currently, however, I do not know of a fraternity that is present in that type of higher education community. Thanks for your question!
