My International through our Natioal food Drive donate Tons of food to the needy!
My Chapter alone donated over 7000 lbs of food! We also have 2 other charity fund drives for the needy! In the last 2 yrs, we donated 3600 to Ron Mac house of Joplin Mo!
Do Not stand On Your Box and tell me the Greek Orgs do not do anything!
I did my time pushing a wheel chair around so a young lady could be a member of my college.! There was some other things we did to do service for the school! Just because you are in Wash, dc, dont mean s--t. I have been there and they are all blood suckers! It is a business not a vocation!
i would appreciate if you do not show disrespect for the people that do a lot of hard workand put in a lot of hard time!

I'm still trying to figure out where you feel I disrespected the social fraternities and sororities? Please quote earlier in the thread where you feel that I did so.
Most of the chapters of Social Fraternities and Sororities do community service these days, and a good number of the Nationals have a specific philanthropy. I'd like to see the Social Greek system expand in this country.
My fraternity (alpha phi omega) has had charters pulled for hazing, just as many of the social fraternities and sororities do. My purpose in this thread was to try to get a clue on the types of hazing incidences that would lead to a sorority charter's being pulled since the number of examples in stophazing.org and in Nuwer's work is fairly small.
The original statement in the thread was designed to contrast the incidents that do occur rather that an attempt to imply that this happens in large numbers. If that is the way that you read it, my only comment is that is not the way it was intended. I'm not saying the NPHC fraternities don't drink, just that it doesn't lead to the public incidents that it has in a few NIC chapters, conversely, I have never seen an NIC charter pulled for the type of pure physical abuse that you see in the hazing incidents for the NPHC Fraternities.
