FRATERNITY DESPISED

FRATERNITY DESPISED

Out of one’s longing to gain friends and to satisfy one’s desire with the sense of brotherhood and sisterhood, reality shows us how young people of today are pressured to join fraternities and sororities.


Beatings and painful initiations should not be a necessary factor before a teenager can satisfy his longings for brotherhood and sisterhood.


A number of students have already been rushed into hospitals just because of hazing.
Real friendship can’t be measured with one’s endurance to beatings nor it can be quantified with one’s planned or choreographed concern. True friendship means doing something for the other without expecting in return.


It will probably take years before hazing perishes from the fraternity scene but solutions can be done to make hazing less common, until it no longer exists. An iron fist is needed in creating stricter laws to prevent hazing from occurring, putting better education about fraternity and more intervention from college administrators.
