There's a pattern most people don't talk about honestly. A fraternity gets suspended - national headlines, campus outrage, a stern statement from the university - and then six months later everyone kind of forgets about it. Then it happens again. Different chapter, same script. And if you've spent any real time in Greek life, you already know which houses on your campus are perpetually one incident away from losing their charter. ...

Roommate problems exist everywhere in college - dorms, apartments, co-ops - but something about sharing a house with 30 to 80 of your brothers or sisters makes the friction feel more personal. Because it is. ... Read more

Recruitment chairs are great at a lot of things. Remembering your name after meeting 200 guys in two days, cracking jokes that land at 10 a.m., making a house with peeling paint feel like the obvious choice. But breaking down the actual financial commitment? That part somehow always gets left out of the conversation. You find out the real number around week three of pledging, right after you've already told your parents you joined. ... Read more
