Deaths, shutdowns, outrageous substance abuse, and hazing have headlined newspapers and televisions across the continent. The past two years have left many asking, where do we go from here? Instead, this presentation wants you to ask, where are we now? The fraternity and sorority experience is not the same as it was 20 years ago, but what makes it different? Using data this session will ask participants to discuss perception versus reality.{/popup} How Different is it?
