Why do people have the need or desire to join a fraternity? What attracts them to join a group that get themselves involved in violent acts such as fraternity wars, hazing and humiliating initiation rituals for the sake of what they call brotherhood? These are just some of the questions that come into my mind ever since I became aware of the existence of these organizations.There are a lot of fraternities out there who are infamous with violent acts such as frat wars and gang rapes as well as bullying other people. I don't know what it's like in other countries but here in our own country, fraternities are more like a street gang.
When I was in high school, I got into several fights with fraternity members when they try to bully me. I have to say that I have not and will not be intimidated by bullies of any form. From what I have heard, there are some fraternities that are not like that and I do hope that is true. Campus Crusade for Christ started out sharing the gospel to fraternities in the 60s and is still continuing to do so. Knowing how some fraternities are engaged in violent acts, why would people still join them if their only reason is to belong? Could that be the real reason for joining? Your guess is as good as mine.
