The State of Fraternity and Sorority Life in Higher Education
Banks, Shamiece A.; Archibald, James G.
Georgia Journal of College Student Affairs, v36 n1 Article 3 p24-32 Jul 2020
There are many benefits to being involved in Greek life. Becoming a part of a fraternity or sorority provides one with opportunities to get involved in community service and develop into global citizens. However, recent negative media attention has focused on hazing-related deaths, alcohol abuse, and sexual assaults in connection with Greek life. This narrative has perpetuated a false generalization of Greek life. The purpose of this paper is to review some of the current issues that are impacting the Greek community and to provide recommendations how student affairs professionals can assist in improving the image and improving the practices of Greek life.
