FYI: SINCE I AM ASSUMING YOU HAVE NOT BEEN IN SCHOOL FOR A WHILE...Sociology has always dealt with the human condition and what makes one person do one thing and the other not. Hmm..like deciding to go greek. Also another thing I have to clear up...my statement regarding was hazing was thrown in there, because it is an issue that many people are taken interest in and has to be addressed, no matter how much some of us don't want to deal with it.

Heids81,
I think what everyone was basically trying to say in their posts concerning your request is that there are better alternatives to asking GreekChatters for info. Performing a search on the topics you are interested in will give you a lot of opinions that have already been posted. But other than that, you just won't find many people on here that will be helpful to a request like yours.
The problem we have with people asking for info on Greek Life is this: We give them info and it gets either completely twisted around, or only the negative aspects get printed. I've seen it done WAY too many times to trust any of the media, or anyone doing a research paper. It's a fact of life -most of the media is anti-Greek because that's what sells. And, since this is the Internet, we really have no idea who you are. You could be with some newspaper trying to get dirt on Greeks, for all we know.
This is not to say that you aren't an honest person. I can't say whether you are or not, because I don't know you. Like I said in my earlier post, it's the dishonest people who have ruined it for folks who really do want info for UNBIASED papers, or for personal use, or whatever. Too many times, we've helped out, offering quotes and opinions, only to have what we said come back to bite us in the #$%. And it's not b/c we've necessarily said anything negative, it's because our words have been edited or twisted to fit what the writer or reporter wants to hear. So, I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just being cautious. Sorry if you've taken offense, but that's just how it is. We ARE unified Greeks here, and because of that, we are going to protect ourselves by not saying ANYTHING that could get taken out of context, to you or anyone else. I hope this helps you to understand a little about why we don't usually respond seriously to requests for research paper information. Please don't take it personally. It's just our standard policy.
