With the rates of alcohol abuse among college students soaring higher than ever before, many are looking at involvement in Sororities and Fraternities as the pressing issue. The topic has garnered more than enough media attention lately, especially in regards to how being affiliated in Greek Life negatively impacts the individual both physically and mentally. Particularly, how these organizations can enable environments for issues such as substance abuse, discrimination, and the additional…

Joining a fraternity on campus is something that many college freshmen look forward to, and it should be a time of comradery and fun. Unfortunately, the hazing process can be something that turns from fun to dangerous quickly, and if your young adult couldn’t get out they may not be suffering. Has your young adult returned home from college because they were the victim of fraternity hazing that went too far, or now their grades and mental and physical health are suffering because of the…

to be able to pledge this great fraternity and have loved being able to be a small part of the community. Throughout this petition I will use these experiences to represent why I want to become a member of Phi Gamma Delta. When I was looking…

A date night is essentially a smaller house party, in which each fraternity brother is permitted to bring one female guest, or “date”. Due to the more exclusive nature of the date night, the venue, another fraternity-owned home about a mile off campus, was not nearly as crowded, providing the option to be as close or far from a date as desired.

People know that rapes do occur on college and university campuses and are readily told when they occur. However, what happens when a university is found to have covered up not one but numerous cases of rape on their own campus? That is the situation the University of Virginia (UVA) has found itself in. On November 19, 2014, the magazine Rolling Stone…

The event began on the edge of the lawn, students swiped their One Cards and upon entering were given food and drinks. At this time, members of different sororities and fraternities were pouring into the area with t-shirts displaying the Greek letters of their organization. Throughout the lawn,…

College fraternities and sororities are organizations groups in college that are identified by Greek letters but they both are very different. A fraternity is a frat for the guys who typically love to throw huge parties and sororities are a group of girls that form sisterhood who typically do not throw parties. The culture of Structural-functional theory “is a system of behavior by which members of societies cooperate to meet their needs”. Looking at the behavior of a fraternity and a sororities…

and involves organizing collection cycles with each fraternity each weekend. This not only poses a problem on the front-end, including delays in contacting fraternity members, but also on the back-end as it is difficult for us to collect all the cups in a timely manner with just three people and one car. Storage Currently we store the cups in the Delta Kappa Epsilon (DKE) basement thanks to the generosity of the brothers of the DKE Fraternity. However, this is clearly unsustainable and we are…
