Question by Laura b: Why Sororities and Fraternities should be banned. Facts/Statistics.?
I am doing a pro/con debate in my public speaking class on why social fraternities and sororities should be banned. I have been searching all over and have mainly just found newspaper articles stating many deaths over binge drinking and hazing. So could anyone help me find some statistics and facts on why these should be banned? I need the link to the article with it too. Thanks a lot in advance!
