Fraternity

second time, they will tell you to leave the fraternity. There has been situations where they had to and it was hard to see them go because everyone gets really close to one another. Another challenge is that if the ninety-four percent acceptance rate to medical school is not met internationally the fraternity of a certain campus can be disbanded. This is a reason why they try to get the best of the best pre-med students who rush for this certain fraternity. She knows that PhiDE can improve in…

sorority’s push each member to reach outside their comfort zone, and to strive for excellence in academics, community involvement, and personal development. “Greeks all speak a “language” that they learn in the process of becoming part of their fraternity/sorority. They sometimes say things that only other Greeks will understand” (Swales). Fraternity’s and sorority’s cherish being involved on campus and giving back to the community, which is also a huge part in the way they act or talk. Total…

The We Are Done Movement came about in response to similar protests at Universities around the country. It is a way for this group to express their opinions on social issues present on the campus of the University of Alabama, but many people don’t agree with the organizations ideas. Joe McDonald wrote an essay depicting why the We Are Done Movement is wrong and displayed evidence behind his reasoning. Joe argued that: the safe space this organization is calling for is only making the divide…

being a fraternity and the things that they partake in. I noticed that they play intramural sports which had got my attention a little bit. I asked him how they keep up with their grades while doing this, because to me grades come first and if I did have any intentions of joining a fraternity I wanted to make sure I could keep up with my grades. This is what he said, “We make sure grades come first and are always helping one another if needed so.” This helped me to understand that fraternities…

majority of members of a sorority or fraternity would respond after being asked about Greek life. Why is that they feel like they have to say that? One word: Marketing. The way sororities and fraternities are portrayed to the public gives off a bad image and reputation about the members and their community. Any person who has not been part of Greek life and does not have any information about this community and its activities they would think sororities and fraternities are just a big house full…

life students that they interviewed for their article. One of the students that they interviewed stated, “We have a strong sense of responsibility. If you do something wrong, we expect a knock on the door or a bunch of emails from the Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life” (Jackson and Iverson 8). Being accountable for your actions and demanding that everyone else is accountable for their actions as well is a great value to hold. Students should know that what…

I would ever be in the place to even be considered for this award. I remember specifically at one moment my freshman year when I had a conversation with now alumni Ryan McQueeney. In this conversation, I addressed the RBC and stated that “In the fraternity there is a role for everyone, but my role will forever be the Club aspect of Sigma Chi.” This mentality was something that I prided myself on…

throughout the year, there are campus events that fraternities and sororities host for a good cause. Most of these events raise awareness for those in need and try to help them. I actually went to one recently which raised awareness for Wilson’s disease. “Wilson's disease is a rare inherited disorder that causes too much copper to accumulate in your liver, brain and other vital organs possibly to a life-threatening level (mayoclinic).” A fraternity member’s sister was diagnosed with Wilson’s…

Over eight hundred college campuses and nine million students in the United States and Canada participate in Greek Life (New Jersey Institute of Technology, 2015). Every Greek organization is gender specific, sororities are female based and fraternities are male based. Members who wish to join Greek organizations will have a higher risk to a criminal record due to hazing, which may worsen their cognitive and noncognitive functions.
