Hazing




Whenever I think of the benefits of college life I always immediately think of: parties, girls, new friends, living on my own, no curfew, and the many college opportunites that I will be able to have. But one college activity many people are skeptical to join is fraternities and sororities. People many times want to be apart of the brother or sisterhood, but the process to become apart of the family is so grueling and destructive, that many times people dont see it as even an opportunity but nothing more than torture.  Hazing as a whole has taken its toll on many people, and I believe it needs to be watered down. The hazing that happens now leaves too much room for one small decision leading to death. These groups need to come together and find a regimine where they have found safe credible, reliable, and legal ways to "break" in their newcomers. This way people will feel more safe, and not be in the situations many kids are today.
