Maybe you do have a point there but it just sounds that you are putting more weight on frat violence . How come Davao is still a favorite spot for tourist and locals alike ? They dont have or less frat violene but rampant on vigilante style killings or say Palawan is still a place to be even though kidnappings happened there at one time .
i remember a long time ago when fraternities do community work to clean up areas, etc. can't they realign there excess energy and frat org loyalty to something productive.
Actually bai it still the same way the frat orgs do the way they do it long time ago . We still do and will always be productive and tries to be lesser destructive unless provoked . I will be using a lot of space here if I have to lay down the cards of the productivitiy of AKP in specific .
say.. street clean up na contest for each frat or community beautification or education.. cottage industry. there are a lot of these fratmen who does not have work. they can be more productive if they will be taught/ undergo training to divert their attention from killing each other to heloing each other improve their ways of life.
Though we did not exist to compete with others , we do it to reach our goals and mission statements of the fraternity . Though the claim of a lot of members are unemployed , AKP is in the process now of giving workshops , leadership trainings , job huntings , etc . It will be helpful to them in the future .
i think most of them have some imbalance also in the core unit (family) or perhapos socieity that is why they resort to this type of thing.
That would apply to people in all walks of life . Fratman or not , we are still subjected to that problem thats why people tend to find an escape route of it and resort to something they enjoy but not healthy .
tsk tsk tsk.. maau pa to sa una when frat men manglapaso sa mga boarding house or laba sinina.. malipay pa nga people.. hehehe
What you mentioned is true but it only applied to the happy people who are their SPONSORS w/c those chores were applied as SERVICES and part of the initiation . I dont find it amusing when one is happy because someone got exhausted for personal gains . We do still have projects that we dont personally gain but the generalpublic enoys .
