    When fraternities first gained traction in the 18th century, they primarily sought to promote a level of scholarly and ethical conduct. Recently, however, fraternities have carried a mixed image, stemming from the outlandish reports of “hazing, alcohol abuse, and anti-intellectualism.” In an attempt to decriminalize the current state of fraternities, universities have contrasted this with their high graduation rate, widespread community service, and the member’s willingness to

This is an aspect of Greek life that many are unaware of. A lot of people only see the news headlines when something has terribly gone wrong in the Greek community, not when they do something worthy of praise. “Since ESA (Epsilon Sigma Alpha) partnered with St. Jude, the teams have raised a total of $80,000”, anyone who reads that would be blown out of the water.

Hazing can often lead to injuries and deaths, problems with the chapter and university, and weaken
