You have made one of the biggest decisions of your life to go to college. Congratulations! However, that’s not the only decision that you’ll have to make when it comes to college life. Another important decision that you’ll probably make is the decision to go Greek in college.

Something has shifted in how fraternities present themselves on campus, and I don't mean the Instagram aesthetic. Over the past few years - especially post-2020 - there's been a visible push from chapters across the country to reframe what brotherhood actually means. Philanthropy is louder.

And somewhere in the middle of all that chaos is something genuinely worth paying attention to - because formal season, done right, is one of the few traditions in Greek life that actually holds weight beyond the night itself.

Michigan State's Fraternity and Sorority Life put together a Safe Halloween program this year, and I want to talk about what that actually means from an organizational standpoint - because most people either roll their eyes at initiatives like this or treat them like a PR stunt. Neither reaction is right.

Living in a chapter house sounds like a dream until you're sharing 200 square feet with someone who has a completely different sleep schedule, hygiene standard, and threshold for background noise. I moved into our fraternity house the spring of my junior year, after spending almost two semesters as an independent, and nothing really prepared me for how complicated the roommate dynamic gets when you're also brothers.
