This topic was important because it needs to be made aware that in these groups people are able to make connections with one another and make long lasting friends through college. Students who go to college want a good support system of friends and a sorority or fraternity can do that. Also they can encourage underage drinking and hazing. These dangerous acts should be made aware to students so they know what not to do and what to be concerned with. One of the articles I chose related to sororities because it talked about the discrimination of a student trying to get into the sorority. Although it is a good way to make friends, sororities can be very judgmental and put eligible students through hazing activities which are very dangerous. The second article talked about how because of the fraternity a boy lost his life due to alcohol poisoning. With many people together all the time, they pressure one another to go farther and farther and one student drank to excess and died.
