Greek Life Stereotypes

I am choosing to write about the stereotypes portrayed against fraternities in the media. Most people, when they think of fraternities, think about guys al dressed the same in boat shoes and polo’s or other stuff like that. Well yea there are some of use that wear that kind of stuff and I admit I do at times myself, but we don’t all dress up like that. I know plenty of brothers in my fraternity that despise boat shoes and the high khaki shorts. Another stereotype portrayed in the media about fraternities is that we throw these huge keg parties. For example in a new movie that came out not to long ago called College, three high school kids go to a college campus and go to a fraternity party and there are kegs and people doing keg stands and all that good stuff. Well f.y.i. FSU has made it illegal for fraternities to have kegs on their property and if caught you could be kicked off campus so I know we don’t throw keg parties, at the house that is. Finally the last stereotype that isn’t true is that fraternity houses are always a mess. That’s definitely not true. We always want our house to look presentable so we have days where we all have to come to the house and clean. Fraternities always want their houses presentable to any women that come by the house.
