The Greek Factor: What About the Sororities?

http://thegreekfactor.blogspot.com/2011/10/what-about-sororities.html

A deeper look into the culture of sorority and fraternity life. Thursday, October 6, 2011. What About the Sororities? Discussing fraternal issues, however, only speaks for half of the Greek system. In order to fully understand the culture of Greek life we must include sororities, an equally puzzling enigma in their own right. Elle Woods, Legally Blonde. I must admit I initially fell victim to the idea that sororities were purely about partying and drinking. When I rushed for my sorority, I definitely...

The Greek Factor: A Big Fat Greek Engagement

http://thegreekfactor.blogspot.com/2011/11/big-fat-greek-engagement.html

A deeper look into the culture of sorority and fraternity life. Friday, November 4, 2011. A Big Fat Greek Engagement. The concept of marriage got me thinking about love, romance, and relationships are perceived differently by men and women. Most women will have fantasized about their perfect wedding years before they've even hit puberty; most men cannot even fathom the concept of marriage until they are involved in a very serious relationship. My (now) FI lavaliered me the end of my senior year. We h...

The Greek Factor: The Chapter Advisor

http://thegreekfactor.blogspot.com/2011/09/chapter-advisor.html

A deeper look into the culture of sorority and fraternity life. Friday, September 9, 2011. All sororities and fraternities are required to have a chapter advisor. In order to be considered a legitimate organization on campus. Most advisors tend to fade into the background, trying to stay out of sight and only appearing at formal chapter events or to sign off on necessary paperwork. Dave Norman, Phi Kappa Psi Alumnus. No excuses. Play like a champion (Rule #76). Without alcohol. Give me a break.&#...The C...

The Greek Factor: Masculine Fraternities, Feminine Sororities.

http://thegreekfactor.blogspot.com/2011/09/masculine-fraternities-feminine.html

A deeper look into the culture of sorority and fraternity life. Friday, September 30, 2011. Masculine Fraternities, Feminine Sororities. Why do men and women use separate bathrooms? Why do we have “girls night out”, or boys only nights? Despite the obvious anatomical differences, are men and women really all that different? David Beckham, a "Real Man". That got me thinking. Did the culture of fraternity and sorority life really reinforce gender stereotypes of traditional masculinity and femininity? A rea...

The Greek Factor: "Father blames UCLA fraternity for son's death"

http://thegreekfactor.blogspot.com/2011/11/father-blames-ucla-fraternity-for-sons.html

A deeper look into the culture of sorority and fraternity life. Thursday, November 10, 2011. Father blames UCLA fraternity for son's death". UCLA Theta Chi Fraternity. While I send my condolences to the young man who's life was tragically cut short, there is a larger issue at hand. Headlines in the Los Angeles Times. And Fox 11 News. All read along the lines of "Father blames. Secondly, Parrish was 18-years-old, which, in all fifty states of America means he is no longer a minor. He is an adult; he c...

The Greek Factor: October 2011

http://thegreekfactor.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

A deeper look into the culture of sorority and fraternity life. Friday, October 28, 2011. A Testament to Brotherhood (Continued). People often claim that fraternity brothers are closer to each other than sorority sisters. While this statement may be subject to interpretation, there is a ton of evidence that can be presented in favor fraternities. It's true. Fraternity brothers will support each other to no avail. The Marlboro man, stoic and independent. Overall the fraternity system is able to provide me...

The Greek Factor: November 2011

http://thegreekfactor.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

A deeper look into the culture of sorority and fraternity life. Thursday, November 17, 2011. The end is near. With less than 2 weeks left in the semester, classes are winding down and students are preparing for the holidays. Greek life, however, is at its peak. Initiation is perhaps one of the most heavily guarded traditions of the entire Greek system. Each sorority and fraternity has their own method, their own rituals for inducting pledges, followed to a T year after year. In contrast, sororities culti...

The Greek Factor: Trio.

http://thegreekfactor.blogspot.com/2011/09/trio.html

A deeper look into the culture of sorority and fraternity life. Friday, September 16, 2011. The first Thursday night. Be teeming with the party-goers milling about the sidewalk as they wander from one frat house to another. Yet this Thursday, 28th street (aka the “Greek Row”) is noticeably quieter than previous years. Perhaps we can point our fingers to the events of last spring, when the Kappa Sigma. And continues to keep a close eye on the happenings of every fraternity and sorority on campus. All eyes...
