Alcohol consumption on college campuses in the United States and its associated problems has been well documented in the past five decades. Data from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (2004) show that approximately one thousand four hundred college students die annually from excessive alcohol consumption while an additional five hundred thousand sustained all kinds of injuries. The data also revealed that 70,000 sexual assault cases that are reported by college students are…

philanthropy goes on the back burner. The main reasons why one joined the organization in the first place. Higher rates of alcohol consumption and binge drinking have been reported in Greek organizations than in non-Greek organizations. Males in fraternities do have a higher percentage in alcohol consumption along with smoking. Also one example could be finical status. The dues do not even total the whole cost. There are fines, expenses, and social money that have to be contributed by each…

I went to a community college where they didn’t have sorority or fraternities on the campus. When I first saw the name Zeta Phi Beta sorority on campus. I was interested to learning more on my own.

If someone is silent: • Use the technique of doing “pair shares” instead of direct questions to individuals. • Have each person share, “popcorn” around the room, so everyone is expected to participate. • When using fictional examples to illustrate points, use this person’s name as part of the positive example.

binge drinking. He believes that freshman college students often join sororities and fraternities to “make friends” and to “fit in” also that they would be willing to do anything. I strongly agree with Bruffee, if colleges created peer tutoring, team projects, or just had students sit together and work in groups it would decrease binge drinking and the number of students who join Greek sororities and fraternities because they would be making friends through better situations. Colleges should…

Sororities, also known as “fraternities for women” started to form in the 19th century when students began secretly meeting to discuss and deliberate material that was considered inappropriate to universities. Gamma Phi Beta was the first organization to use the title “sorority”, although there were other groups that followed similar traditions. The creation of sororities was a symbol of women putting their foot down to social customs and the opinion that they were less equal to men. This…

Throughout my time here at CMU, I have been a brother of Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity and one way our group has passed along important dates, information, and other events details has been through our Facebook Group. While searching for a project idea for my BIS 308 class I received a notification in our group named, “Business Chat.” Curious about the notification, I checked it out and noticed that our group’s cover photo had been changed recently. To my surprise, my Chapter’s Vice-President decided…

When I was first introduced to Lambda Theta Phi Latino Fraternity Inc., certain aspects of the organization caught my attention. First and foremost, the organization promotes unity within the Latino community. Being united as Latinos is essential because together we acquire great accomplishments for the betterment of the community as well as ourselves.
