“Should colleges ban fraternities and sororities?” is a question that is frequently asked due to all of the controversy surrounding Greek life. It is also the title of Jake New’s InsideHigherEd article outlining the various instances of misbehavior by Greek organizations across America.

Hazing, binge-drinking, and superficiality are just a few things that make Greek life a no-go for many students, including myself.…

One of the main reason incoming freshmen and young adults are caught in the college misconceptions is due the media, especially movies. When I was younger, I used to believe everything the media taught, anything I watched in a movie was a reality. As I grew older, I began to understand that movies are not reality.
