SERIES OF SHOTS: Greek

Members helping in the
community.

(Roulet, Love, Beats d'Amore under)

Narrator: Most popular movie films depict fraternities and
sororities in a negative light. Although some activities such
as hazing and vows of secrecy have transpired and surfaced,
it should not cast a shadow over Greek Life as a whole.
Community outreach is a primary focal point in Greek Life
and is evident as members participate in events throughout
the year. They contribute by raising money and awareness
and should not be compared to any movie specifically made
to entertain audiences.
