“The Pros & Cons of being Greek - (issues/problems that we deal with on a regular basis).

REAL vs PAPER?

“Greeks all around the world has come to a consensus that people who are “paper” (meaning there was no “underground”process). The underground process is typically known as “hazing”. According to www.deanofstudents.umich.edu; “Hazing as defined in Garret’s Law (M.C.L. 750.411t), includes the following willful acts, with or without the consent of the individual involved: physical injury; assault or battery; kidnapping or imprisonment; physical activity that knowingly or recklessly subjects a person or persons to an unreasonable risk of physical harm or to severe mental or emotional harm; degradation, humiliation, or compromising of moral or religious values; forced consumption of any substance; placing an individual in physical danger, which includes abandonment; and undue interference with academic endeavors. Acts of hazing only include those acts which are done for the purpose of pledging, being initiated into, affiliating with, participating in, holding office in, or maintaining membership in any organization. Acts of hazing include acts inflicted by an individual onto one or more people. Which includes but is not limited to any situation which:

  • Creates a risk of injury to any individual or group
  • Causes discomfort to any individual or group
  • Causes embarrassment to any individual or group
  • Involves harassment of any individual or group
  • Involves degradation of any individual or group
  • Involves humiliation of an individual or group
  • Involves ridicule of an individual or group
  • Involves or includes the willful destruction or removal of public or private property for the purpose of initiation or admission into, affiliation with, or as a condition for continued membership in an organization

The circumstances above and being threatened by school officials and Greek Letter Organizations has hindered and restricted those who may have considered going through the underground process, moreso due to the facts that hazing is illegal. Although hazing is illegal, a lot of interested individuals either are either coerced to complete a process or will simply refuse becoming a member of the Greek letter organization to keep from being called “paper”. But as yourself these few questions:

  1. DOES IT REALLY MATTER?
  2. Will "REAL" or "PAPER" members work harder?
  3. Will they both receive the same amount of RESPECT?
  4. Is it work going to jail or being expelled from college-for?
  5. Who are you proving a point-to and why?
