A lot of readers share interesting articles with me regarding fraternity life. Here are a few that I have received recently that I think are worth your time:
Lessons From Augusta – The Bureau
Great article that describes how fraternities should keep their private discussion private – just like Augusta National.
Princeton Freshman who Rush Frats Face Suspension – Huffington Post
A very negative article describing how Ivy League schools are forcing freshmen to defer rush until their sophomore years.
Fraternity and Freedom – Fraternal Thoughts
Very insightful article regarding the self-government of fraternities. Is defiance a part of your DNA?
To End Fraternity Hazing, End Boozing First – The Chronicle
The author obviously has an agenda (he is a lawyer that represented a kid who got hazed) and is jaded about fraternity life because of it. The comments about the article are very interesting….
Mentoring – A to Z – Xylograph – Catalyzing Leaders
While the theme was a stretch, the article actually makes a great point. You can’t un-do bad mentoring – it will always be part of the person who you mentor.
Leadership vs Friendship – Purpose Driven Relection
Can you be an effective leader and still a close friend? I think after reading this article you will agree that the effective leader is actually a better friend.

Solid article Cole. Really enjoyed it. Some other very good links too. Thanks Pat.
Hey! Glad you liked my Lessons from Augusta article, and thanks for linking to it! If you have time, I also wrote a piece about pledgeship, and the meaning I felt it had. Not necessarily something people agree with me about, but interesting nonetheless. Here’s the link:
