Are fraternities worth it?
For some time now, I've been thinking about college and what extracurricular activities I should involve myself in. In doing this, I came upon some particular interest groups, in which everyone knows as a fraternity. Now from what I hear, being in a fraternity is fun and all but I also heard that it helps in the future, because the members of the fraternity, will help you find a job. However, I'm not completely sure if I should make the effort to join a fraternity, because fraternities also have a history of hazing potential newcomers. I even remember one of my teachers telling me not to join a fraternity, because they are stupid and silly. So in that case, is joining a fraternity really worth the time and effort? -LaVanton Gilmore

Personally, I think movies give fraternities a bad reputation. Yes, there have been bad incidents in the past with some fraternities in real life but not all are like that. There are some that are out there to truly help students with their lives. As for hazing, in a lot of colleges it’s actually prohibited to force newcomers to do the crazy or gross things we have heard of. If you want to experience something new and be involved in a new kind of family go ahead and join one, just watch out for those that can get you in to bad things.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Natalia,fraternities are more than just the parties. Fraternities are meant to be a helpful place where you can meet new people who ultimately can make your experience much different. Older members often have good advice for getting through college and help guide you. It's a life long bond ,which personally, I think is worth whatever initiation you might have to go through.
