Very well said! I agree with you 100%!Marion Jepkosgei wrote: ↑11 Jun 2020, 17:08 I am African and sororities and fraternities are best known to me from novels and movies. What I can say though is, the author was trying to portray the impacts of such frats and how deep bullying is in schools. Acceptance is one thing everyone craves. No one would like to sit at the "best mates" table and be virgin for the entire school life.
Philip really enraged me. It made me think of how some people have fashioned a callous demeanour in themselves, something that has clouded empathy and other admirable aspects of humanity. Bullying really needs to stop. People should be able to pass Science or Math without being teased or made fun of to the extent where they want to bury their true selves to prove points. Kalin didn't deserve what he went through in search for a place to belong.

We have seniors but they have zero reason to bully.

I am Zambian but went to an International University in Cyprus. Fraternities were not part of the university experience both there or back home in Zambia. It is a really foreign concept lol But I've always wanted to be a part of one to some degree.

I think hazing is definitely a problem at some schools but many have moved past. I also really think it is a very easy way to make friends.Odette Chace wrote: ↑11 Apr 2020, 14:47 In college, I attended the informational meeting about joining a sorority, but the price tag quickly made me shy away from actually rushing. While on my particular campus, I don't think hazing ever went that far, there is still a definite draw to belonging to a group on campus that is so close-knit. It is an "easy" way to guarantee that you make friends.

Indeed. I think it also has a lot to do with how big the school is. I went to a very small school.Delaney35 wrote: ↑25 Jun 2020, 13:18I think hazing is definitely a problem at some schools but many have moved past.

In the Philippines, these organizations have a negative connotation which is always bad. Ask anybody and they'll tell you the previous death incidents previously occurred.
Dont tell the parents unless you want to get a bunch of hitting and sermon!
