I have always wanted to be a part of a sorority. Watching the movie “Stomp the Yard” and all of the videos on the internet made it

  • Greek Life: The Positive Aspects Of Greek Society

    1920 Words  | 8 Pages

    Eventually, these organizations became more than an academic environment, and started to become a bonded group full of strong and dependent relationships. By the end of the century, members started making time for parties, sports, dances, and other social events. This gave way to modern day Fraternities and Sororities (“History Greek Life”). Many modern concerns about Greek Life center around the fact that the focus has turned to the social aspect and left behind the founding goals and the positive outcomes of this system.

    In Harrop and Wiles journal article they argue that there is implicit performance actions suggested within the written body of a translated text. Beyond the general literary focus on the language or “lexis” of ancient Greek tragedies there is also said to be “schemata” or gesture present and able to be read between the lines of the written word (Harrop and Wiles 51). It is Aristotle’s concepts of “lexis” and “schemata” in playwriting, which the authors suggest should also remain “indiseverable” from each other in the translation of such plays (51). The authors suggest that it is “the role of the modern translator”(63) to decode the implicit physical performance actions within the original text beyond a “linguistic level”(51).

  • Why Hazing Is Wrong

    2027 Words  | 9 Pages

    Individual Final Project: Hazing Hazing is simply defined as, “The imposition of strenuous, often humiliating, tasks as part of a program of rigorous physical training and initiation.” From that definition we see no correlation to success, brotherhood, sense of belonging, and many other positive connotations that come with rushing a fraternity. Someone from outside the “Greek world” would read that definition and immediately assume a negative connotation that it has with fraternities, and they are completely right. The list of reasons why hazing is not necessary in a fraternity clearly outranks those benefits that can possibly arise from it. Hazing can often lead to injuries and deaths, problems with the chapter and university, and weaken
