[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not totally opposed to it but anyone says it’s all charity work and bonding and no hazing or sexual assault is hopelessly naive [/quote]

[b]I was in a sorority. I wasn’t hazed, nor was I sexually assaulted. I’m comfortable saying the same is true for ALL of my friends in Greek life.[/b]

My DD is in a sorority at a different university. She hasn’t been hazed or sexually assaulted. She did wake up at 6am today to volunteer at an event raising money for pediatric cancer research. She went with 4-5 of her sisters.

(Also, do you really think sexual assault exclusive to Greek life?)[/quote]

Same.  Some of my best friends today are sorority sisters. One who lives halfway across the country just called to check in on me since I recently had surgery and I know she would pick up and fly here in a minute if I needed her to.

I spent A LOT of time at fraternity houses when I was in college. Nothing bad ever happened to me.  Many fraternity boys were the ones who made sure we made it home safely after a night of too much drinking. Much to the chagrin of DCUMs, all the fraternity boys I knew who I still know now turned out to be successful. They’re doctors, lawyers, investment bankers, business owners, in commercial real estate, lobbyists, etc.  And I have many successful sorority sisters in the same professions (including one who is a politician you’ve likely heard of).[/quote]
