Sorority And Fraternity College Life Reality
334 wordsAlthough college life is portrayed to many as one big party, I recently have found that this accusation is unrealistic. The truth is, college is an overwhelming and intimidating experience. Preconceived notions of how college really works, ultimately ruins the reality of college life. The first falsity is about Sorority and Fraternity life. Being in a Fraternity or Sorority is not depicted honestly. In college, most people picture typical Fraternity and Sorority parties. However, Sorority and Fr...

This acceptance is becoming more and more apparent, in school and at home, but especially in the media today. I believe that one reason this increase is occurring is because people have grown accustomed to it being a form of entertainment and people are generally more likely to watch something involving violence than s...
