GreekRank hosted an anonymous poll asking its visitors if they have ever been hazed and to what degree. Those who participated responded to the question by selecting one of the multiple choice answers 1) “Yes, I’ve been hazed and it was bad” 2) “Yes, I’ve been hazed but I didn’t think much of it” 3) “Maybe, I possibly experience some light hazing” 4) “No, I’ve never been hazed.” With over 5,000 respondents, the results are certainly worth a discussion....

Attention potential new members! I know, I know…you are terrified that you are going to mess up recruitment. I ended up in a great sorority, as most of you reading this will.

Last week, I got coffee with one of my friends from home, who also went Greek. As we shared lattes and stories about what classes we miraculously passed and which fraternities we borrowed composites from, she flipped through the pages of a People magazine next to us and sighed, “Man, I wish fraternity guys at our schools looked more like celebs, you know?” Apparently, a solid amount of Hollywood A-listers are Greek and proud to wear their letters....

Another day, another fraternity. They get the brunt of all the blame for anything remotely bad that happens on college campuses these days. Hazing, rape, alcohol, parties, they take the rap for it all. This isn’t a fraternity problem though, it’s a society problem....
