9–10 AM: Gym

I usually hear a mind-shattering noise in my frat house that wakes me up and completely assaults my senses. It’s almost like that every morning, and I can rarely get a quiet night’s sleep. Not that it matters anyway.

Typically, we all wake up hungover as balls. No one knows what the hell they’re doing. Sometimes, I’ll see used condoms or thongs right next to my bed.

Before going into details and discussing which fraternities are the best, let’s first form a clear conception about what a fraternity actually is. Fraternities, sororities or Greek Letter Organizations (Collectively referred to as “Greek life”) are basically social organizations at colleges and universities. Generally, these organizations allow single-sex membership. For example, fraternities are only meant for men while sororities are formed by its female counterpart i.e. women. In modern usage, “Greek Letter Organization” has become almost synonymous with the terms “fraternity” and “sorority”. Here, our main focus of discussion will remain exclusively on fraternities. Fraternities are most popular in USA and Philippines with little numbers existing in France, Canada, and a few other countries.

If you are a student at a university or college, you will be well-known with the word ‘Fraternity’. Usually, if you follow the meaning of this word in the dictionary, it will tell you that fraternity means a group of people who share a common profession or interest. The members of that fraternity group have common goals in life and also have the same aspirations. All of them learn together and grab the knowledge to ease the growth of the entire fraternity. It is the common experience of the members who are tied by the depth of the same knowledge together.

Usually, fraternities are the part of college and universities, but this word has the ‘Greek’ tradition. In ancient Greek, the society was developed in every segment, like education, culture, music, art, and every sector of society.

College life is an amazing time full of firsts. First party, first 8:00 am lecture (you skip), first love, etc. Greek life — also known as sororities and fraternities — is a major player on most campuses (even though not everyone participates).

Your first frat party can introduce you to some great … and not so great … men, who have joined an organization bigger than themselves.

A noble pursuit – until it’s not.

Among the truly amazing things fraternities do, these types of organizations are also known for a slew of sexual assault allegations in the media, and of course, excessive drinking.

With the story hitting the news about Palo Alto University psychologist Carrie Cage’s allegations of sexual assault by then-high school student Shane McGrew, attention is focusing once again on the conditions that breed mistreatment of women in male-dominated organizations. According to the Washington Post story that first documented the details of Dr. Cage’s account, McGrew committed the assault while a high school junior at the elite male-only Georgetown Preparatory School. He and several of his friends were present at the time of the attack, she stated, which occurred at a party in which everyone was drinking beer, but especially the boys. In his senior yearbook entry, McGrew made a number of references to drinking, and claimed that he was a member of the “Beach Week Ralph Club” and “Keg City Club.”

At bars, buying someone a drink carries a certain implication — at the very least it displays sexual interest, and at the most it can be an expectation of sexual interaction.
