Abstract:

The title alluded to fraternity and sorority members being true adults, rather than “college kids.” The article’s mission was to counter this stereotype of Greeks: more concerned about socializing than making a positive difference. An illustration of their intended more altruistic nature was Phi Beta Sigma’s “Sleep Out for the Homeless.” As for shedding another stereotype—more concerned about socializing than academics—included was information about required GPA.
