reasons for hazing

[GammaDelt]

my paper is not on hazing. hazing is something I'm discussing, but it's not focused on that. it's about how greek life is community based acceptance, and how sororities that use the pledge process as a loving and nurturing process have higher statistical ratings in regards to membership retainment.
so please don't bite my head off - remember, I'm on your side, so why would I want to speak badly about the greek system?

No one is questioning your loyality to Greek Life. It is just that those of us who have completed college already realize that this topic has been discussed to death by well-meaning undergrads. In other words, your professor has read dozens of papers on Greek Life already. And most aren't interested in reading any more.

Students attempt this topic every single year. DST was advising you to choose something more original.

Not more original. More interesting.

The thing is, that's not entirely true.

Depending on the school, there are groups (male and female) that are known to haze that have the highest pledge class numbers and retention. Your premise of "groups that haze don't retain members" is faulty. Not to mention, what are you considering "hazing"? Some national groups consider relatively benign activities, like interviews and pledge class only activities, to be hazing.

I understand that you're trying to do something positive for Greek life, but honestly, I would choose another topic.
