[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the Greek Life haters, I don't get it.  If you hated it in college, fine.  Great.  I am sure you didn't join.  But you are not your children.  Can't they make their own decisions.  Will you ban them from joining the Lions Club or The Women's Clubs or Rotary or any other benevolent organization.  I am guessing that you are unaware that every greek organization has a mission and the "social" greek organizations all raise money for causes such as Komen for the Cure and The Children's Miracle Network.

So when I was in college, I spent part of most weekends at a Greek sponsored event that had the goal to raise money for the host sorority or fraternities philanthropy. What do you do for society that was so much better?

I love to volunteer but hate to do it alone.  So I did volunteering in college via my greek organization and now through local philanthropic organizations.  If you have a like-minded child, please fight your own prejudices and let him or her find a social network that at least makes giving back to society part of the deal.

Or don't.  Ridicule it and make fun it with your kids while you all hang out and lament how nobody takes the time to volunteer.[/quote]

My kid goes to a college that banned fraternities and sororities some time ago. Volunteerism isn't imperiled there. Pretty much the entire student body volunteers at the homeless shelter, the Boys and Girls Club or tutors/mentors students in the local public schools. [/quote]
