AESDSU http://www.aesdsu.org Is Greek in your Education Plans? Wed, 25 Jun 2008 09:42:45 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1 en The Sordid Side of Greek Life http://www.aesdsu.org/the-sordid-side-of-greek-life/ http://www.aesdsu.org/the-sordid-side-of-greek-life/#comments Mon, 19 May 2008 23:04:05 +0000 admin http://www.aesdsu.org/the-sordid-side-of-greek-life/ Despite all the advantages of the “Greek” life, some fraternities and sororities just don’t get it.  Just last month though tragedy struck down South.  Ten fraternity members at Tulane University in Louisiana are facing criminal charges due to hazing rituals that burned its pledges with boiling water, cayenne pepper, and vinegar.  Two of the pledges had to be treated for severe burns after the ?hell night? which involved seven other pledge members on the April 25 incident.

These fraternities should be ashamed.  Hazing events like this should have been banned years ago.  It places a cloud over the rest of the communities which live up to the values of highest service. buy adipex

I have also been a member of a wedding party on several occasions. Some of these weddings have been small and intimate with just a maid of honor and a best man to stand up with the bride and groom. And then there have been the very large weddings where the number of people in the wedding party reached double digits.

Regardless of the number of bridesmaids and groomsmen, have you ever wondered where these traditions began?

The history of the best man goes back many centuries – some sources say as far back as 200 AD. If prospective brides were in short supply in the local village, a man simply took his best friend, or “best man”, and went to the next village to steal a bride. The best man then stood by the groom during the wedding ceremony to protect the groom from the bride’s family who may come and try to steal the bride back.

The history of bridesmaids dates back to Roman times. Bridesmaids were originally intended to protect the bride as she traveled to the groom’s village for the wedding ceremony. Legend states that in some European areas, a couple often had as many as 10 attendants and their purpose was to ward off evil spirits. Bridesmaids and ushers (or groomsmen) wore clothing and jewelry identical or similar to the bride and groom so the evil spirits would not be able to tell who the true bride and groom were. (Now you know who you can blame for that row of bridesmaid dresses hanging in your closet that will never be worn again.)

Fast forward a few hundred years, and while we still have wedding parties, or attendants, the role they play has changed a bit. Today, bridesmaids and groomsmen plan and attend bachelor parties and bridal showers, make toasts, assist the bride and groom in planning the wedding and during the wedding and reception itself, and act as legal witnesses. But mostly, attendants today are there to look good and to help the couple celebrate their special day. Far from being a dangerous task, as it once was, being a part of a wedding party is now an honor and a lot of fun.

While fraternities and sororities aren’t right for everyone, for over 200 years, millions of men and women at colleges and universities across the country (and the world) have found fraternities and sororities to be of immense personal value.

Rush is the period of time during which members of Greek Letter Organizations recruit and select new members. Similarly, it is a time for potential members to select the groups to which they might like to belong as well. Rush schedules and customs vary greatly by school - and this is just one of many things that can make this time more of a hassle than it needs to be.

GreekPages wants to help make things just a bit easier. By filling out the form below, GreekPages will pass along to the participating Interfraternity Councils (for Fraternities), Panhellenic Councils (for Sororities) or National Pan-Hellenic Councils (for traditionally African-American Fraternities and Sororities) that you designate the information you provide.

The more information you have, the better choice you’ll make.

Good luck.
