Frats-Animal House

I love the movie Animal House. Its hysterically funny and keeps the viewer glued to the screen. The only problem with the movie is that it gives Fraternities a bad name. It makes the viewers believe that all frats are drunken stupid idiots. I wont lie some are, and some are not. Since being at Kearney Ive gotten to know many Sig Eps and Pikes who are two of the largest frats on campus. Most of the men are hard working school devoted individuals seeking a higher education just like the rest of us. The only difference is that they live in a house.
Yet despite all of the good things that these two houses have shown me, i couldnt for the life of me convince a fellow friend that he should think about joining one. He said that he didn't like the stereo types and didnt want to deal with the drama. Yet your going to find that every where you go in life. Despite the disgusting and vulgar things that are done by the frat members in Animal House, it was only a movie. A movie designed to poke fun at the hilarious rumors that go around about houses such as theirs.
I was glad to know when i asked a few Sig Eps at the beginning of the year about hazing, that it was not practice on Kearney campus. They said that it was not necessary and that it would result in a elimination of there house. Its like a family, a group you can go to know matter what when you need help with things, and for some people that means the world.
So to any skeptics, i promise the frats on kearney campus are not like animal house, some are crazy, some study hard, and some know how to keep the balance. Either way dont judge a book by its cover tell you've read the storyand all it has to offer.
