Blog Post 12 Outline

I. My argument is that fraternities aid immensely in positively developing an individual's character and potential. There are many implications regarding this, mainly because fraternities are always portrayed in a negative light. However, this is because the negative incidents generate much more attention that the positive benefits. Many people are unaware of what truly goes on behind those doors, and i am writing to give the readers a greater insight into the overall Greek Experience.

II. My first paragraph consists of the social capital and benefits gained from joining a fraternity. I tie this into the second paragraph by discussing the academic support and achievement gained from the process as well.

III. I plan on defending hazing and alcohol consumption by using two sources i found. One being that hazing in a sense is a test to see how physically and mentally strong you are. Alcohol consumption being that it is a college experience that should be enacted or lost forever. There are many social implications regarding this as well.

IV. Lastly, I will discuss the various leaders that have benefited greatly, and whom owe much of their success to the support and motivation that the fraternities provide. I still need to find more research on this area.
