Fraternities and sororities

Lowering the Drinking Age The day kids turn 18 they are no longer kids, they are adults. As adults there are so many things you can do. From voting to buying a house, but there is one thing 18 year olds can’t do… drink. The three topics I will be talking about in this paper will be traffic related accidents, sexual dangers, and college campus dangers. There are many stories about teenagers drinking underage. Even if the drinking age dropped to eighteen from twenty-one do you think that…

Although, this not include which team won in the Bedlam game this year. However, it does include a variety of features an individual should look into when determining which college would bet the best fit for him/her. A few of those…

I will focus in great detail regarding the colorblind racism on the critical report paper, but some examples of colorblind racism are shown in the power point slides starting from slide 70 which shows fraternity member from University of Florida wearing blackface, and Penn State University Sorority making fun of Mexican…

Several colleges have been labeled party schools. How much in-depth learning will be done with loud music and dancing? In addition to this, there are other schools who are built off fraternities and sororities which although it does instill leadership, teamwork, and many other values it is often taking way from studies due to social events. I’m not suggesting taking them away, but why not have study groups and academic integrity incorporated into…

and homework. Through the creation of this short film, we explored various locations on campus to seek our personal silence. [ Fourth Street] As we walked up the 4th street, we were surrounded by fraternity and sorority houses. From Sigma Chi to Delta Tau Delta, our anxiety rose as the fraternity guys sat in the white rocking chairs, blasting loud rock music in front of their houses. We both felt intimidated by the loud noise and knew that silence was nowhere to be found…

The current law in America states that a person who is the age of twenty-one or older is legally allowed to consume alcohol. There are many arguments whether this law should be changed to a lower age, preferably eighteen, or raised to an age somewhere around twenty-five. When the hardcore facts concerning this substance are thoroughly examined and thought over, one would see there is only one answer to this dispute. The United States has many problems concerning alcohol and younger people in…

Racial discrimination on college campuses is a problem, not only for this generation, but many to come. How can students be expected to be professional and show respect when they aren’t treated with the same consideration. Racial discrimination is alive and is present within our college campuses. Minorities have been targeted with insults, racial slurs, and have been treated like criminals, which is evident throughout our history of the trail of tears to the civil war and to the Japanese…

Excessive drinking also affects a student’s academic performance…

criminal? Currently in Georgia a bill has been passed by both the house and senate which would “allow anyone 21 or older with a weapons license to carry a gun anywhere a public college or university campus, except for inside dormitories, fraternities and sorority houses, and at athletic events” (Torres). If firearms are not permitted on college campuses and a criminal comes in and starts shooting, every student and teacher is left defenseless until the police arrive, as stated earlier, 10…

society. I was active in sports as well as volunteering. I took plenty of AP classes. But I wanted to go to Brookdale. I would attend Brookdale in the Fall. They thought I was crazy. I did not want the so-called college life, the parties, the sororities and fraternities. I wanted academics. My peers continued to pester me in asking why I was so adamant about attending Brookdale. Another reason was that I could not afford college loans. I had…
