Basic News Story
This week is formal recruitment for Greek life at Kennesaw State University. There are signs around campus saying “Go Greek!”and all of the sidewalks are decorated with Greek letters. The campus is a hive of activity with the fraternities practicing their recruitment speeches and the sororities busy planning recruitment events.
All the activity around campus during formal recruitment week sparks interest in many Kennesaw State students about the Greek life at the university. What is Greek life all about? Are the negative stigmas sometimes portrayed by the media true?
There are six fraternities and four sororities at Kennesaw State. The fraternities at Kennesaw State include Delta Chi, Kappa Sigma, Delta Tau Delta, Theta Chi, Pi Kappa Alpha, Pi Kappa Phi, and Theta Chi. The sororities present on campus are Phi Mu, Delta Phi Epsilon, Gamma Phi Beta, and Alpha Omicron Pi. Greek life has been active on the campus since 2000 and membership of the Greek organizations continues to increase every year.
A big part of Greek life at Kennesaw State is philanthropy. The fraternity Delta Tau Delta hosts a philanthropy event every year called “Greeks Go Bald”. They raise money for children with cancer. Kappa Sigma participates in Adopt-a-mile and helps pick up trash around Chastain Road. Phi Mu holds a philanthropy even called “Big Man on Campus” which is a talent show to generate contributions to Atlanta area children’s hospitals.
Greek life is sometimes portrayed negatively by the media with stories of hazing and emotional abuse. Kennesaw State has a strict zero tolerance policy on hazing. When Delta Tau Delta member Josh Walling was asked about hazing he responded “We do not haze any of our members. If there ever was a instance of hazing, there would be consequences.”

Interview
It is that time of year again! This week is formal recruitment for the Greek life here at KSU. There are signs around campus saying “Go Greek!” and all of the sidewalks are decorated with Greek letters. Campus is full of activity with the fraternities practicing their recruitment speeches and the sororities busy planning recruitment events.
Seeing this activity around campus sparked my interest in Greek life at KSU. What is it all about? Are the negative stigmas like hazing and bullying true? To answer my questions I interviewed Josh Walling, a Delta Tau Delta brother at KSU. His comments and perspectives may help satisfy the curiosity that sparks in many KSU students around this time of year.
Amelia’s Blog: When did you join your fraternity and why?
Josh Walling: Spring 2009. At first, I rushed because of the free t-shirt and free food. I wasn’t sure if I was going to become Greek or not. When I met the Delta Tau Delta brothers, I decided to join their fraternity.
AB: What do you like best about Greek life, and why?
JW: I like the friends, brotherhood and the unity.
AB: What activities does Delta Tau Delta do?
JW: We do community service projects like Adopt-a-Mile. We get together and pick up trash near Chastain Road. We also have a philanthropy event called “Greeks Go Bald” to raise money for kids with cancer. We have raised $30,000 so far.
AB: Does it help you succeed academically?
JW: Yes. We have a strong academic policy. We hold each other accountable. Every week we have study sessions, some of us have classes together and our academic advisor helps keep us on track.
AB: How will being a member of Greek organization help you after college?
JW: I think the networking will help. We have a lot of alumni in many different industries. Every year we have a camp that teaches us job interview skills, professionalism, and how to write resumes.
AB: Sometimes Greek life is betrayed negatively in the media with stories of hazing, etc. Is there hazing at KSU? Is it allowed?
JW: We have a zero tolerance policy towards hazing. If any brother hazed another member, they would be expelled from our chapter.
AB: What would you say to someone interested in Greek life at KSU?
JW: There is heart and substance to being a member fraternity or sorority. There is more to it than what the media portrays. We do get together and have fun, but we also do things like raising $30,000 for kids with cancer. We like to help the community.
