First off, most fraternities and sororities no longer haze pledges. Almost all have policies against it. A common misunderstanding is that "Greek life" meaning fraternal organizations in America have something to do with Greece or Greek heritage. They don't. Greek letters are used to identify each organization. Although the reason Greek is used is unknown, it is probably because of the Ancient Greeks being one of the first philosophical societies on Earth. Other than language, Greek organizations have very few, if any ties to actual Greek heritage. Additionally, television is a very bad place to get your information on fraternities. Most of what you see is not true. Most fraternities focus on personal development, academic achievement, and interpersonal relationships. Fraternities are basically just that, a society of men who love and care for each other as brothers. Parties happen on college campuses regardless of a person being "a Greek" or not. Being "Greek" just provides more resources and opportunities to party, The "frat parties" you see on TV or in the movies are drama, not reality.
