Before we step into the real world of college, we hear about all the different sororities and fraternities, what goes on, what they act like, and what they do. We all have seem to have our different views of what “Greek life” really is, but have we really observed the people and the things they do? Despite the ongoing stereotypes we hear about Greek Life on college campuses, being involved here at UCM seems to be very beneficial for not only the students, but the community too. Yes, there are…

I was never a fan of fraternities. At first, I thought people who joined were just after the impression of other people that they look cool because they have a fraternity. In addition there are alot of hazing issues reported on media, which tells people that joining a fraternity is dangerous.

She had both good and evil in her and she had the chance to choose good but she didn’t. Looking back…

Greek life on college campuses is an effective way to ensure that students get the most out of college, and all that it has to offer. Greek organizations actively challenge students to be a well educated, and active part of the surrounding community.

Particularly, how these organizations can enable environments for issues such as substance abuse, discrimination, and the additional…

because personally I am really interested in the more scientific and even psychological aspects of why people do what they do. It was interesting to learn that there are counselors that are specifically for students in Greek life. I was aware that hazing was a big problem for sororities and fraternities, but the fact that there has to be a specialist for this specific problem shows just how rampant and big of a problem it really is. She even knew from personal experience the hardships of being…
