Tulungan sa pag-aaral ang pinaiiral namin, may savings kami para matulungan ang mga member na kapos sa pera dahil hindi na kaya ang gastos sa pag aaral. Lahat nang alumni ay may share para matuloy yun.

May frat na maayos ang pamamalakad may frat naman na hindi kaya kailangan alamin din kung maayos ang frat.

meron din pala ganyan mga frat dito kala ko sa ibang bansa lang. alam ko kasi halos lahat ng frat dito physical ang hazing. anyway yung mga ganyan klase ng frat i could understand why someone wants to join. sa states kasi madami ganyan frat kaya accredited ng mga universities nila.

Back in college, bawal ang frat. There were a group of pacool kids though na feeling frat kung umasta. I preferred to be active in orgs kasi it gives you connections as well as social interaction.

So far, nakagraduate naman ako and nakahanap ng trabaho without needing a "brotherhood" to back me up.

However, in law school or med school, mas may value yung frat. Wala kasing org dun so the frat is the closest thing to a support group. My friend na kasali sa soro, sabi niya hindi naman daw hazing yung initiation nila, more of ipapahiya ka lang.

But now that they're more senior, nakikita ko yung mga activities na ginagawa ng soro nila (med missions, fundraisers, etc) and it's not so bad naman.

hindi lang naman filipino phenomenon iyang hazing bro. actually mas worse pa nga iyong sa 'tate kasi they put more imagination into it

ang totoo hindi lang sa high school nag-start iyan frat activities. ang lakas dati ng recruitment ng sa upper levels of the grade school dept in my school before. i remember i was being recruited or pinapasaringan na ko ng mga batchmates ko ng grade 6 ako. they were into enticing impressionable young kids to join them and increase their ranks because it's the cool thing to do daw

the funny thing is when i transferred institutions for high school, basically walang presence ang mga frat. iyon nga lang mas rabid naman ang school loyalty so parang iyon ang nag-replace siguro sa frat mentality

PHL frats were largely patterned after US Greek-letter societies, and so the similarities in rites of passage.

Fraternity/Sorority is not necessary in school/university. Based on my observation and experience, P.R. (public relations) or being friendly is better than being a frat member. Many young people, usually teenagers are encouraged to join frats/sororities because of connections, protection, cool image, etc. I grew up in a violent world where gangs which are frat like group were common during my teenage years. I was actually one of the founders of one group. After a year of founding my group, I decided to join one of the top legitimate fraternities of the Phils. Top - in terms of numbers of the members, & legitimate - because it is registered in the SEC. Unfortunately however, our frat & sorority had a bad image in the Phils. because some of our brothers who are out of school youth were involved in frat wars & crimes. We have these so called community chapters which made our image bad. The reason why we have these community chapters where most members are out of school youth is that they serve as reinforcement/resbak to the students-brothers who are in trouble with the rival frat or other groups. When I was in College, di na ko nagpa-welcome sa ibang chapter ng frat ko. I don't want to be in trouble because of my frat. It is then that I realized that it's better to have a few true and loyal friends than to have a thousand fraternal brothers. However, until now, i'm still an active member of my frat but i seldom attend meetings. More on financial & moral support na lang, but i'm still proud to be a member of my frat, kahit maraming tambay/out of school youth o presong members, marami din namang professionals like lawyers, priests, politicians, BJMP, PNP & AFP officers, etc. All walks of life kasi ang membership ng frat namin. Later on, being a prof. in the college of law, i became one of the founding members of a new organization, we call it a society whose members are lawyers & law students. We still have hazings pero minimal lang and halos di ako sumasabay, kasi kung ako lang, personally, ayaw ko na ng physical hazing. Mas gusto ko pang ipa-memorize & ipa-recite ng important law provisions ang neophytes. I've been interested in joining Freemasonry about 6 years ago, but until now, I have not seek its light due to lack of time & naisip ko, dagdag gastos pa. I have so many friends naman in my city so, marami na rin akong connections, hehe!

The funny thing is some schools ban fraternities yet its an open secret.

Kaya if i were to decide I'd rather recognize the fraternity rather then letting them go ubderground mas mahirap lalo na kung may ganitong kaso. If recognized yung frat madali ipatawag yung officers and mas ingat sila magkamali. Still i think no one can stop hazing for good na yan.

Nung freshman ako sa college twice ako ininvite ng ganyan to the point na pinapasok ako sa room while may klase kami.

I declined i don't have the balls hehe

Can fraternities bring you somewhere? Unfortunately from where i stand and what i see? i think yes.

Fraternity and politics blends really well.

^Hypocritical for some schools who know of their presence but continue the non-recognition. This just drives these groups to go underground, making the school unwary of their activities. Better to recognize them so they can be put under school rules on organizations.

That being said, can you share your reasons for becoming a frat member and the positive results for being one? If I am convinced, I might even encourage my son to join so he can outgrow his love for online games!
