15 Reasons To Reconsider Rushing A Fraternity

Fraternities aren't going away any time soon, but as Laci Green explains in this week's 'Braless,' they're definitely in need of a makeover.

On this week's episode of "Braless," Laci Green asks, "should frats be banned?" Laci backs up her question by listing off the pretty serious transgressions committed by fraternities over the past year.

"SAE fraternity brothers sing a racist chant on camera. Kappa Delta Rho frat brothers post pictures of passed out, naked women in a private group on Facebook with rape admissions. Pi Kappa Phi brothers leave behind a notebook at a restaurant with references to rape and lynching," she says. "What the hell is going on?!"

Unfortunately these aren't isolated incidents. Members of fraternities commit 3x as many rapes as non-members. And though not all frats commit acts of racism, it is important to note that 93% of frat brothers are white men.

So, are you still interested in rushing a frat? Here are a few other things to consider:

They won't let you into the bar unless Rick puts his shirt back on, but Rick's catchphrase is "RICK IS THE BOSS OF RICK," so you'll be stuck between Rick and a hard place pretty much every weekend.

...And this is what you'll get for falling asleep with your shoes on.

Simply put, being a frat brother is complicated these days. But it doesn't have to be that way.

"We need a culture change---and that change needs to start from within," says Laci. "Frats should acknowledge what’s going on and deliberately work to change it."
