Should Fraternities Be Shut Down?

"If Greek life were to shut down I'd be really upset about it," said Nathan. "Fraternities are a good thing but lost in all this shuffle is information about all the good things we do. We don't just join a fraternity to join."

Dan Hogan, a senior at the University of Iowa and member of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity – one of the organizations involved in the SDSU drug bust – says that philanthropy and community service projects organized by the group are often overlooked among the headlines about hazing deaths and drug dealing.

"It would be a horrible decision if fraternities were to begin to be shut down," said Hogan, who says he was not hazed nor has he hazed other members. "The good outweighs the bad."

"These guys – they're my closest friends for life," said Hogan. "I cannot imagine what college would have been like without being in the [fraternity]."
