The very fact that violent incidents take place is a clear indication that something is wrong with the members or structure of some fraternities in the PI. Yes, the media sensationalizes and puts a spin on things, but they don't pull these incidents out of their asses.

The best thing fraternities can do is make changes to their respective systems. Why are non-college students being recruited? Why are officers not paying any attention to academic merit? Why must hazing involve physical harm? The fraternity I joined hazed neophytes -- and frankly I see nothing wrong with it granted that it doesn't really hurt anyone -- but it was a fun (not to mention dumb really) experience. Yes pledges were humiliated and "challenged" mentally, but we never beat a person within an inch to his life.

For what it's worth, frat-related incidents in Cebu have been in decline over the past few years, so it seems both groups have come to some kind of accord.

unsa mani ang ts oi.mura man nmo ug gigeneralized ang fraternity...

Always bear in your mind and all closed minded in fraternities..

Fraternity = brotherhood = members = plural...getz??

let us say, ang mga catholic mga abuser.sugot mo ana?

catholic = follower = plural....getz?

kng naa mkasala sa akrho,tau,Apo...yaw ninyo igeneralized because it depends in every individual...

i am akp but i firmly believe na dli tanan tau pangamongay...naa ko dghan friends nga TAU,bsan pa sa panahon nga gubot pa kaau,still we're friends ky nkasabot man mi unsa amo gisudlan.kasabot mi nga nisud mi pra dli magcreate ug gubot.

Unsa ang fraternity pra ninyo? singular or plural?

dili pud cguro tanan fraternities kai pasikat rai tuyo ui. kaming mga akrho sa among university positive man ang tanaw sa mga students & teachers namo kai makita man nila ang mga maayong binuhatan namo. ni hatag mi ug trashcans, nag feeding program mi sa neighboring barangay sa among school, ni donate mi ug relief goods sa ka2ng victims sa ondoy, nag donate mi relief goods for the fire victims of sitio aroma, blood donations, cleaning drive. more on community service jud mi sa among fraternity. so naa pa sad tawn ming mga true fratmen nga gi tuohan ninyong wala na.

i Bet emow is not referring to all frat's sir.. me also have known some fraternities in usc and up that where having a good cause.. all i wonder i how come fraternities have been extended to brgy's and sitios where most of the recruited are tambays,drug addicts and stupid persons.. yeah i've known some sa amoa area na cla cla mismo mag dala sa ngan sa mga name sa fraternities that even stained more sa mga namansahan na daan..

frat here are a sad caricature of frats in the U.S. But even there they don't have a very good reputation. Difference is when someone dies due to hazing (most of the time due to alcohol poisoning, rather than getting beaten up) there's immediate action by the police, the school and their government. The opposite happens here, you even have a Vice President coming to the defense of a murder suspect, and his only basis is that he looked into his eyes and was convinced of his innocence. What a joke our country is with people like this. Until we become mature enough as a people to have fraternities they should simply be banned. I guarantee you nobody will miss them save for the power hungry leaders of these gangs. There are many countries in the world that don't have fraternities and they are doing just fine. By the way, Harvard, one of the best schools in the world, doesn't have fraternities. In their view, students should feel a fraternity with their fellow students, so Harvard students help other Harvard students. Fraternities just split campuses, so their loyalty is no longer to their fellow schoolmates but to their fraternities many of whom don't even go to the same school.

There are already many organizations that do the same things but they do them exclusively. What these frats are doing are just windowdressing their darker sides. If you really want to help people join an organization made exclusively for that, rather than as a social mobility or tool for gaining connections which is what fraternities really are at their core. There are organizations like Gawad Kalinga, Rotary Club, MSF, etc that will make use of your volunteerism so much better than these fraternities because they are organized exclusively to help people rather than just help them on the side for P.R. purposes. I mean come on, are we supposed to forgive the negative sides of these organizations just because they make pa-cute with their charity drives every now and then. I'd rather that people join truly charitable organizations rather than selfish organizations that try to window dress their sins with lipservice programs.
