Wow i love how everyone associates hazing with only greek life!!! THAT IS THE BIGGEST LIE IN THE WORLD!!!! I attend a university and I am a member in a fraternity as well as a varsity sport. I will tell you that hazing and initiations are much much worst on sports teams than any nationally acredited greek house.  The nation board severely punishes greek houses for hazing where as there is no punishment for a universities sports teams....\n\nI am on the greek life board at my university and I know about every single thing that happens in most greek houses and I'll tell you it's nothing like what i had to do for my varsity sport of i have heard other sports had todo!!!!\n\nPlease do not assume that ALL fraternities or sororities haze cause the majority does not and you have no knowlegde of anything myth you are letting slip out of your mouth.

yeah thats a really bad idea.......really bad......i remember a girl on the team when i was school.......every single guy treated her like garbage....like less than human......they would make fun of her and call her bad names (really bad) all the time......they go out of their way to try to hurt her.....go for her knees......helmet to helmet hits........and the WORST, they would sexually harass her....they would say the dirtiest things to her....the worst things....and they even tried to molest her and rape her....they would try to feel her up every chance they got.....grab her breasts....grab her azz.....everything........it was horrible.......\n\nif you want to read a story about this happening in college, look up "katie nida"..........same thing happened to her......

Hello,\n\nI am a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.  I am fully aware of the stereotypes that surround all of the african american greek letter organizations. I am a dark-skinned member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.\n\nPersonally, I think that it is just as unlikely that all of my sorors fit into that small state of mind as it is impossible to assume that all black are criminals.  My sorority as well as the other sororities mentioned by another answerer were all founded on principles that would allow us to contribute to the world around us, now, are there any members of the organizations that would fit into the stereotypes....of course there are.  No matter what you could come up with I am sure that you can find a member of any organization to fit it.....but it is unfair to say that we all fit into any particular mold.\n\nPerhaps the sorors who are watching you and who speak to you think that you would be a good fit into the sorority....it does not have to mean something negative......perhaps you should consider that.\n\nI don't think that there is one or two types of people that we tend to associate ourselves with.  That would be nearly impossible.  There are nearly 200,000 of us worldwide.  I know plenty of sorors who socialize with people from every walk of life.  Greek and non-greek.  We like anyone else gravitate towards the people who we think we can be friends with...and if RUSH is coming up soon at your school, there is a huge possibility that they are interested in you as a candidate for membership.\n\nDon't be so quick to lean towards the negative......things are not always what they seem!\n\nBest wishes to you!!!!!

Its a hazing technique where the freshmen have 2 skate around naked on the ice-rink with obscineties and other funny and humiliating comments written on their bodies and the senoirs of the fraternity get to try to "JAM" something(like a broom handle or adult toy....etc) into certain areas....lol\n\nThey basically get sodamized!lol\n\n♥

First I'll start off by telling disspelling the myths some uneducated people said!\n\nThey are a great thing if you make the best out of it and use every possible advantage it can give you! doent listen to 'sweetbeanie' i doubt she knows squat about greek life\n\nThe greek system DOES NOT glorify conformity and discourage individuality. Many people think that simply because they usually see fraternity borthers or sorority sisters always hangout together. Guess what though pledging is where you become extremely close to your pledge brothers and the brothers or sisters in the house. I never realized how close I would be to these people just through becoming their brother. I never new how much i had in common with the brothers until I got to talking to them. I was in many of the same other clubs as my brothers and the brothers in the fraternity house, I knew them through the many clubs I was involved with and I still wasn't that close. If you want to meet a variety of people join a fraternity or sorority or just go around campus and talk to a variety people. In the clubs i am a member of I don't see much variety. In the glass blowing club see a bunch of stoners and it the frisbee club I see a bunch of lazy people that couldn't make it on the sports teams. In my fraternity I am now hanging out with people i never knew or would think about talking to until i joined. Current greek houses do not have a imposed standards to be a brother.\n\nNow let me explain to you why i joined a fraternity!\n\nI join to meet new people and make new friends. Before the fraternity I was involved with 3 major clubs on my college campus and one I help start from scratch, so my reason was that i didn't have any friends, I wanted more. Also the opprotunities of brotherhood and business connections. I would be lying if the social scene didn't cross my mind as well. Academics were a big part alot of my borthers are economic majors like myself and I can ask them for help when ever. Finally I love the community service, I am my fraternities community service chair.\n\nmy college allows you to pledge as a sophmore so this is away to make sure you don't rely on a fraternity for friends. I am guessing you are in your second semester of your freshman year so you probably already have your friends. My fraternity doesn't keep me from hanging with my friends i made before them as some will say they do.\n\nI picked this house simply cause the great community serivice I heard of. Also I met some of the brothers my freshman year. Also my friends from freshman year all liked this fraternity so that is why we decided to rush this one.\n------------------------------\nIf you are worried about if it is for you talk to the brothers in the house and ask them questions they will answer them. I know before I pledged I talk to the current president of my house multiple times as well as some of the brothers before I knew it was for me.

It depends on what kind of person you are.  Most of the residence halls have negative stereotypes, and to some extent they are true (if only because people want to make it so).  Here is a short list:\n\nAllen: artsy, pot-smoking, unique, weird\nBusey-Evans: rich, spoiled girls\nISR: Asian engineering students\nLAR: known as the "virgin vault"\nFAR/PAR: normal, except lots of vandalism\nGregory: actually known as the six-pack by everyone on campus, mainly because people drink a lot\nPeabody: similar to Gregory but also more normal like FAR/PAR \n\nThen there are also the private certified halls, like Illini Tower, which has a reputation of being for rich kids who drink a lot and go greek.

O geeze--one of the scairest experiences ever.  I brought one back to university after Christmas.  Me and the Girls--the little pack I hung out with in school--had a party.  The board said "one of you will become pregnant in one year and a day...."  We ALLLLLLLL LAUGHED hehehehehehe.  And lo and behold, one of the girls in the group gave birth, to the year and the day........ SCARY MAN!!!\n\nIt really depends on the people using it.  If you treat it like a joke, you will get beings on the other side taking advantage and whooping it up, or trying to scare the crap out of you.  I don't recommend fooling around with it.

It is best not to join a fraternity. You should be able to figure out the world without someone guiding you. After all you are out of the kindergarden now in college.

I just want to (gently) point out that this is not the type of question you should be asking online, especially if you are using your real Yahoo ID.  It's a smaller world than you think.\n\nNPHC organizations (as well as other ethnic greek-letter organizations) are very big on DISCRETION.  You cannot assume that you are going to be asked to join.  Generally speaking, no one who is actually involved in the membership process will answer a question like the one you posted.\n\nI would advise that you do some more research on sororities, and especially the lifetime committment that many of them require.

Snooty.  Thinks it's OK to step on the little people.  Did you hear about that recent rape case?  It was some IV league college...Duke maybe?  The whole thing was pretty bad.

It was a little scary at first, but I got into the swing of things pretty quickly. Your campus will probably have plenty of organizations to join, and that's a good way to meet people. You'll meet upperclassmen who can show you the ropes, and you'll meet other freshmen who'll probably be just as confused as you are. If you don't know something, don't be afraid to ask. Get to know your professors. It's a very fun and exciting time in your life. Enjoy it.

I was at a college orientation and i was on my period and bulls-eye i got a big red circle on my butt. I try to walk side ways throughout the whole orientation. Or to let everyone in front of me go first. As soon as I saw a bathroom  I tried to clean it with a paper towel and water the the stain got worse. I felt like I was Kevin in the Wonder Years.After that I never even attended that college.And what sucks is before I even knew about the stain these staff bitches had seen it and never said a word.

I've got two stories.. but we're sort of mean but I was in high school at the time.\n\nThere was this girl that liked me but I wasn't into her. She wasn't in any of my classes  There was this guy in my class and we looked like brothers.  So we decided to pretend we were brothers.  Whenever she would spot one of us we'd confuse her into saying she was talking to the wrong guy.  I thought it would only last a couple of days. This went on for 4 mouths.  Then she kicked my ass in the library when she found out.\n\nSecond one.  I was 14yrs old and I had stoled a dildo from a Spencers.  Couple of my buddies and I dislike this girl.  So we kicked open her locker during class, turned on the dildo and left it on in her locker.  It was so freaking loud that security came to see what was up.  It still cracks me up and that was 20 years ago.

Lesbians are violent macho motorcycle-fixing fist-fighting vagina hunters desperate enough to have a U-Haul hitched to their car at all times to help their byotch move in at a moment's notice...\n\n...at least that's what LOTS of str8 girls think.\n\nAnd offense?  Hell yes-- but you might as well get ready for a lifetime of stupid people who barely have time to be distracted from their double-mocha-freeky-latte rather than experience things and people that might involve something slighty different from themselves.\n\nMove on -- and find someone more tolerant, because, is it REALLY worth your time to convert some idiot's opinion in your first semester?  Save your time for studying and hangin with your tolerant/accepting friends-- unless you fit the stereotype above...\n\n\nGood Luck :)
