Professional fraternities and sororities

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.

recolonize our chapter and achieve greater heights! Below, Jim Henry, BZ 988, shares the story of the hard work our brothers put into building the new house in 1989: In 1989, a Centennial Building Committee for the Beta Zeta Chapter of the Sigma Nu Fraternity was formed. The purpose of this committee was to raise funds for the new house so we could break ground in the Spring of 1990 and have it completed by the Summer of 1992, which was the 100th anniversary of Beta Zeta at Purdue. 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 true and false stereotypes for the different sororities or fraternities…

All sororities have different values that are addressed in their pledges, purposes, and chants that they do. The values that each sorority has can differ between them but some stay the same throughout. Amie Jackson and Susan Iverson found a comparison between the different Greek life students that they interviewed for their article.

Out of thirty-seven fraternity brothers involved in this case, only few face charges. No proof of one more involved than the other shows, and based on logic, all of the fraternity brothers should face the same…

presumed being in a sorority would be how the media portrayed it – crazy, dramatic, and dangerous. However, coming to Babson, I saw a different story. I observed a community of strong women supporting each other through encouragement and shared purposes. Every sorority woman I met my first semester of freshman year raved about their experiences and passion for their sisterhood. When I ended my first semester, I decided that I would be rushing in the spring. Once I joined a sorority, I instantly…

Being a member of this illustrious organization would mean a great deal to me. Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Incorporated is an organization full of members with a purpose. Members that feel they have a calling to serve the greater good of the communities around them, and beyond. The members of this fraternity are very diverse with all different shapes, colors, races, personalities, and ethnicities. However they all have the same foundation of brotherhood, scholarship, and service to uplift…
