First of all, I doubt some of the things stated in that article. Some things are being confused from another night and pledge night.

I think that it is important to note that Wake Forest does not tolerate hazing. Many students who drink do so on their own accord. Several students took it way too far that night, but that is most certainly not a good representation of Wake as a whole.

Most students are very responsible drinkers and many students do not drink at all. Hopefully, this whole situation will be resolved and freshmen spring rush will still be allowed. Greek life is huge at Wake, and contrary to the way this and other articles make it seem, it does NOT revolve around drinking. Many fraternity and sorority members do not drink, get great grades, and are involved in many activities on campus.

I would not be dissuaded from attending by the news as of late. Greek life is an awesome way to make friends and participate in various events. I’m a girl, and a lot of my friends are in sororities (they are in 5 of the 8 sororities on campus) and none of them have ever had to do a single thing they didn’t want to do.

Of course, if joining a Greek organization is not your thing, over 50% of the campus isn’t Greek anyway. :)
