The answer is complicated, but here is a starting point: Ever since the medieval universities were founded, young people have done whatever it takes to gain acceptance, to break with their past lives, to achieve a sense of power, to carve out a society of their own that isn't quite what their tutors and teachers had in mind. In the United States, hazing and drinking have been endemic since colonial days.” PeopleMindHas BeensStatesDonePastYoungDiesSocialAnswersUnitedBreakUnited StatesTeacherAchieveAcceptanceCollegeGainsOrganizationDrinkingUniversityStartingComplicatedBelongingMedievalStarting PointPast LifeWhatever It TakesFraternityTutorSocial OrganizationSororityHazing Book:Wrongs of Passage: Fraternities, Sororities, Hazing, and Binge Drinking Source: Wrongs of Passage: Fraternities, Sororities, Hazing, and Binge Drinking
