Stupid Colleges

In Kenneth Bruffe's essay on Binge Drinking I agree with him on the points of why new college students join fraternities and sororities. But, in the same since I disagree that is why they become binge drinkers. Fraternities and sororities alike have their good sides as well as their bad. I do not consider the drinking a bad choice of the fraternities and sororities, but a bad choice of public officials and collegial officials to allow the drinking that goes on around campuses nation wide. Collegic officals know as do everyone else that underage drinking occurs at fraternity houses as well as sorority houses, allowing this to happen is just encouraging the binge drinking to continue.

On another note fraternities and sororities are also great places to make friends of similar interests. The friends one makes in a fraternity or sorority usually last a lifetime; that is a great plus for joining a brother or sister hood among peers. Not only that but, when you join a fraternity or sorority you will have people in there that are majoring in the same field as you, so you have help with your academic success and learning.
