• A comment noted by the North-American Interfraternity Conference (NIC) reads, “The “Animal House” stigma is still prevalent among fraternities.” The NIC goes on to say,

“…If you are looking for an experience like the one depicted in Animal House then you will find you efforts to be in vain. Chapters that perpetuate those behaviors seen in the movies find very quickly that they are operating not as a fraternity but rather a drinking club.”

• It’s too expensive and I can’t afford it.– On average, less than 2% of students’ college expenses go toward

students graduate.

According to a National study conducted by Tau Kappa Epsilon

• Although the perception and stereotypes of Greek organizations are bad, if you look at many studies you will find that these perceptions and stereotypes are often skewed.
