“Why do so many young people literally die to belong to fraternities, sororities, and other college social organizations? 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

“In any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people: those who work to further the actual goals of the organization, and those who work for the organization itself. Examples in education would be teachers who work and sacrifice to teach children, vs. union representative who work to protect any teacher including the most incompetent.
