Greek In the News

In today's society and especially in today's media, there is constant talk about the stereotypical Fraternities and Sororities. In fact, i was hard pressed to find a story in the news that did not have to do with Greek life in a negative light but eventually, I did. I found a story in the New York Times about a group of 475 college students who have a foothold in over 60 Greek communities around the country. The goal of this group? To promote Christian ideals in Greek life. Essentially, this group which is united by a common goal, tries to destroy the stereotype that the Greek community has.

After reading this article i felt uplifted and motivated in the idea that we at OSU are not the only ones trying to fight this stereotype. That there are people at other universities that care more about their Fraternities and Sororities to the point where they want to improve their organization as a whole and not just their chapter.
