In my opinion, no all fraternities/sororities should not be banned because it is only few that are partaking in such activities. As you know not all organizations have the same morals and standards.

Firstly fraternities and sororities take up a lot of a student’s time in their weekly activities, leaving the students no time…

    Do Sorority and Fraternity Members have Lower Rates of Depression? Major Depression can be defined as having a perpetual feeling of sadness and loss of interest. A lack of sleep, poor eating habits, and not enough exercise make up a recipe for depression among college students.
