You never hear anything positive regarding college fraternities and the associated Greek life.
It seems you get lots of binge drinking, homoerotic activities during the hazing period. Shit like the elephant walk et..
Parties that primarily consist of drinking to a stupor and trying to bang unconscious sorority chicks, rape etc..
Lots of mass cheating.
And other miscellaneous douchebaggery.
Lately they seem to be making the news as well, I guess social media is exposing more of what goes on.
Sounds like the opinion of someone who gets all their information about fraternities from the movies and the news. Have you ever taken the to time to talk to fraternity members to find out why they joined and what it is they like about Greek Life?
As has been mentioned before, fraternities differ from school to school, and within each school, from fraternity to fraternity, and within each fraternity, from chapter to chapter. To try to take a broad brush across every fraternity, and every fraternity member, is quite ignorant.
Are there douches in fraternities? Absolutely. Are there douches in college that are not in fraternities? Absolutely.
Do fraternities put on philanthropic events and raise money for good causes? Yes. Do fraternities provide a built-in networking system? Yes.
Do fraternities throw parties? Heck yes.
😉
Do fraternities have problems? Yes. Do people who are not in fraternities have problems? Yes.
It is really about personal choice, like deciding what school to attend, where you want to live and who you want to hang out with. I was in a fraternity (shocking, I know) as well as many other campus clubs. In my experience, there was much more douchebaggery in the clubs other than my fraternity.
Finally, if you are/were not in a fraternity, why do you even care about them (at least enough to make this thread).
