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…

“Why do so many young people literally die to belong to fraternities, sororities, and other college social organizations? The answer is complicated, but here is a starting point: Ever since the medieval universities were founded, young people have done whatever it takes to gain acceptance, to break with their past lives, to achieve a sense of power, to carve out a society of their own that isn 't quite what their tutors and teachers had in mind.

Opponents of Greek life – such as my colleague Aram Ghoogasian – use stats like these to call for the abolition of Greek life altogether. Ghoogasian is right that this is a big issue, and as a member of Greek life, it’s one I take seriously.

When I went to my orientation last year, I did not want to be there. I was not excited for college, and I was upset that I had to attend orientation for two days. I did not know anyone in my orientation group, and I spent most of the time alone and uncomfortable.
