Now, two years later, he knows the council better, but still wants to make improvements - namely, to create a council where all the fraternities can work together. Once this happens, Keating believes that the system needs to seek representation on UW governing bodies. By doing this, and by being more informative about Greek events, Keating hopes he can combat the negative image of fraternities. The average house has maybe one or two parties a week. That's, say, six hours out of more than 100.
People just make such a big deal about it.
We want to let people know that we're not just sitting around and drinking all day. It's a tricky subject, but if we let the campus and the city know that we are doing projects, that will help our image. As a part of this new image, Keating said that there will be stricter rules about behavior such as hazing and drinking. He comes down especially hard on hazing, which he said has no place in modern society. I think that the fraternity is one of the last institutions that hasn't evolved, and it sucks because people think of Animal House when they think of us.
