MIND THE GAP!
As I continue to dive into the world of Greek life, I am left with a gap in my research. I am entering a conversation as to why there should or should not be Greek life at college campuses and if so, should they be affiliated with the school itself. What I mean by this is that there are some university’s that do not recognize the affiliation of fraternities and sororities to the school, even though they contain their own students. While conducting research, I found plenty of articles pertaining to certain pros and cons to Greek life in general. For instance, I came across sources highlighting the high levels of binge drinking, sexual misconduct, and low levels of academic performance while also stumbling upon articles that touch on the higher vocational and career goals as well as higher community service participation. Yet besides individual aspects of Greek life, it has been difficult to find sources containing arguments either for or against it. In addition, I am interested in the differences between Greek life that is affiliated with the university versus those that are not and their is very little discrepancy between the two when it comes to research. However, I should be able to appropriately enter this conversation with a current students outlook rather than some bozo scientists.
