    According to Martin and Hummer (1989: 459), "fraternities are vitally concerned – more than anything else – with masculinity (cf. Kanin 1967)." This sets the paradigm that they will look into. The paradigm they look from is the eyes of a fraternity's typically nature and values and actions they take part in to decipher what really takes place in order to understand the fraternity's view as the ideal brother. It helps the reader understand how the fraternity culture differs from mainstream culture. The paradigm is expanded by also talking to sororities, non-Greeks, administration and alumni. Martin and Hummer lay out the social constructs of fraternities to help shape the study.…

    I am interested in membership in the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. because I love what the Deltas stand for. The organization is filled with strong ,college educated Black women, who in my opinion want to change the world. This is of immense importance to me because this is what I consider myself doing and trying to do. I want to change the world starting with my black community. I admire the strong sisterhood because I look around at the other sorriotys and notice that even though they claim sisterhood, there is not always proof of that. I have witness first hand that the Deltas is sorority that stays with you past college and continues throughout all of your different phases in life. From college to the start of your career till the end of your career…

    As I am a dual-enrollment high school senior I do not participate in on-campus clubs and activities, so seeing how different groups are treated gives me an insight on what campus life will be like after I transfer to a four-year university. I do not plan on joining a sorority so this study will help in my understanding of what different types of fraternities and sororities stand for and represent. For example, in this study, it was found that black fraternities are more career oriented and concerned about racial issues while white fraternities are more concerned about “living the college life” by doing things such as partying and sleeping around. While this study may not hold true to every college and university campus it is very informative in providing information, especially to someone like me who has no previous knowledge of what actually happens on college…

    When entering college many students have fantasies of joining Greek organizations and other groups that are meant to encourage unity among people that share a common interest. One being that in the world of colligate cheerleading, holds a “mock” sorority, named Cheer Phi. Cheer Phi makes naïve cheerleaders believe it represents the true essence of sisterhood, team work and leadership every quality a great cheerleading squad holds. However, in reality despite a spectator’s point of view so far my opinion opposes those values indefinitely.…

    The reading Sister Act, by Evan Wrigth, is a narrative showing the different points of views and ideals students have integrated about sororities and fraternities, mostly the perspective of female college students. This story takes place in Ohio State Columbus, during the 1950s and 60s. With a large population of 35,000 undergrads, as it is said in the reading, commonly college students tend to join groups to integrate themselves in a social community, the typical American groups where you get drunk and forget about all of your responsibilities for a night to wake up the next day regretting everything. These particular organizations tend to put high standards in their members and represent a high and recognized status as well, "Sorority members…

    My name is Tevin Hamilton. I am from Topeka, Kansas. This semester I will attend KU for my first semester of my sophomore year. I attended Barton County Community College on a tennis scholarship last year. Last year should have been a great opportunity for me to improve my game as well as improve my grades in the classroom. Unfortunately, my coach was reprimanded for athletic misconduct; he would skip my men's practice after personally instructing every girl on our women's tennis team, which I thought highly discriminated my teammates and I. Honestly, I never thought I would come to the University of Kansas or even think about joining a fraternity. However, after talking with some of the brothers in Sigma Pi I feel like I would fit right in. Sigma Pi seems like a really great opportunity to not only socialize and enjoy my college experience here at KU, but also join a brotherhood, make friends I will have for the rest of my life, and become a part of something very few people have the opportunity to do.…

    The bonds of brotherhood within fraternities have proven to be some of the strongest bonds among young men across the country. When it comes to supporting each other, it appears that the young men of collegiate fraternities are masters in the field. Whatever problems are faced by one brother can easily be backed up or even repaired completely by another, and the massive amount of time that the members are required to spend with each other due to meetings or rituals or any other function for the particular fraternity does nothing but strengthen the bond that was already set by initiation into the group. It is rare among college campuses, especially at Sam Houston State University, to see a member of a fraternity walking alone or spending any amount of downtime doing anything but socializing with the other members of their organization. This type of bonding can most certainly be considered to be a very positive aspect of participating in a fraternity, especially when the ability build relationships and work together as members of a team is one of the main concepts behind the organizations in the first place.…

    Is Greek life (X) beneficial (Y)? Greek life at colleges or universities are very important and beneficial for a students’ four years of college. Many people that have not done their research fully or participated in a sorority/ fraternity will pass judgment about them by stereotyping them to be this awful organization but in reality they are a lot more then meets the eye. They serve a good purpose for these young adults’ futures. It not only will be beneficial in terms of their future careers but also help them grow as individuals. It is a strong organization formed for bigger reasons then most are aware of. If it wasn’t such an excellent source of connections and character building then why would thousands of people throughout the United States and my own university (Arizona State University) waste their time and money?…

    In general when someone talks about men in Phi Gamma Delta they think of loud obnoxious guys, who would rather think about the next big party than their next test or homework assignment. But when they take a deeper look into the fraternity you see men who are dedicated to their morals, service, and friendship. “A fraternity is an association of men, selected in their college days by a democratic process, because of their adherence to common ideals and aspirations. Out of their association arises a personal relationship which makes them unselfishly seek to advance on another in the arts of life and to add, to the formal instruction of the college curriculum, the culture, and the character which men acquire by contact with great personalities, or when admitted to partnership in great traditions”(Newton D Baker). Through exploring the history, power structure, slang words, rushing process, membership obligation, the way Phi Gamma Delta members dress, and how students who are not in a fraternity see the members. We will see how this discourse community can seem bias to outsiders.…

    The Aka Sorority

    As college students, myself being one of them, we have the opportunity to create a very diverse lifestyle for ourselves. College campuses offer a wide variety of extracurricular activities to gain college students’ attention. The reasoning behind this is to create each student into a well-rounded individual and prepare them for life ahead of them after college. University campuses put forward several activities, such as recognized student organizations (RSO), intramural sports, committees, sports, clubs, and last but not least fraternities and sororities; These can also be known as subcultures. Out of all of the aforementioned, fraternities and sororities are the most talked about and frenzied over. In high school I can remember girls saying what they were going to pledge when they got to college, as if they really knew what they were talking about. As I thought about what I would like to pledge, it became apparent on me that I knew nothing about pledging or even about any sorority at all. This discovery gave me a considerable incentive to write this paper when I discovered we would be writing about subcultures. I thought a sorority would be a god topic to talk about and a good way to educate myself from an outsider’s point of view. So this paper is like a two for one deal, in which I’m actually getting something out of writing this paper, and it gives me motive and an optimistic state of mind as I research this topic.…

    Each fraternity and sorority has a unique executive structure for each college or university, but also a national entity. Fraternities and sororities each have their own developmental curriculum and guidelines that each member must learn and follow, but academics still hold to be the most important priority (IFC 2012).…

    I thought that this type of life wasn’t for me. My perspective changed when I met some of the talented, responsible, studious men of the organization, known as Phi Iota Alpha at SIU. I realized that this fraternity is a place where I belong. If I were to have honor to be accepted into this organization, I would hope to gain a range of leadership opportunities from events that are hosted. I’m looking to gain a networking and academic support system where I can have someone to guide me when I am on the wrong path. Most importantly, if I were to join Phi Iota Alpha, I’m looking to get a family/brotherhood because I admire how they’re unified amongst themselves and demonstrate this unity on campus. This brotherhood would allow me to share my culture with those that understand where I come from and will help me learn about the Hispanic community associated with Greek life and the campus. Thank you for considering me as a candidate, I think I can be a great asset to Phi Iota…
