Fraternities get a bad rap, usually from people never belonging to one.
Stereotypes are formed from years of T.V., movies, and just plain old gossip. Please don't judge a book by it's cover, I almost did and missed out on a great experience. When I first came to Shepherd College, I didn't know a lot of people here. I took a job at a nearby department store and found out that one of my co-workers, Jim, was my next door neighbor. At first I was leery, I came to college to get a degree and the typical fraternity images ran through my head, you know like the movie Animal House where all the guys did was drink and party and school was the thing that happened when they had nothing else to do.
