Every high school student, at some point, will tell their friends that they will never join a fraternity or a sorority. They think that these groups are full of “fake” friends and in order to obtain them, you have to pay a due. Simply said, it is like buying friends. Likely, you would hear them say “only losers with no friends join Greek life”. Stereotypes and controversial matters are always involved within these groups. Most people think that people who like to party and have fun will decide to become apart of it and those who are fuck up their academics because of the partying. I believe there are too many negative stereotypes involving Greek life.
Until you become familiar with one, you will then be able to acknowledge the family aspect of it.
In order to become a part of the family, you must complete a pledging process. It is true that the pledging process can be seen as harsh and can even consider as being hazing, but this is not necessarily true. Everything a respectable fraternity or sorority does has been experienced by a actives when they were pledges themselves. It is safe to know that you are not alone; you are not the only one experiencing this type of treatment. These types of events will most likely have a meaning behind it, and in order to become a part of the family, you must learn the lessons that are taught behind them, even if they might seem like hazing.
I have friends in a fraternity and they tell me stories about the brotherhood they share. He has brothers who treat him like he is blood. They care, respect, and love him. He tells me that it is not mainly about parties
