The Ozarks

The college student has the attitude “you can cut any team you want, but not mine” or the “I am entitled to play on a college ______ team.” There is no entitlement to be a student-athlete, there is no requirement that a school must offer or support any particular team / sport for students-athletes to participate in competing at the college / university level.

Among the sports offered are flag football, soccer, kickball, basketball, volleyball, softball, ski racing, and ultimate Frisbee. Of all the programs, basketball is the most popular, with around forty teams competing.

The competitive athletics programs of member institutions are designed to be a vital part of the educational system.

Sororities and fraternities are becoming more influential on college campuses and among the professional world. Over 730 schools across the United States have the Greek life system and there are several different fraternities and sororities on each college campus. Many Americans have extremely different opinions about Greek life as a whole. Although many say it is all about partying, there are many pros and cons to joining Greek life.

Ree has also developed confidence as a survival attribute. Watching the turn of events, it is apparent that the entire Ozarks are full of meth cooks. This is clearly illustrated by the fact that she is attacked on her attempt to seek the intervention of the local crime officer; everyone lives in constant fear of betrayal. However, the young lady is confident enough and doesn’t fear explaining her case to people she believes can be of help (Paludi, 2011).

Greek life, made up of sororities and fraternities, is prominent in many universities and colleges throughout the United States. Greek life is on all types of campuses ranging from public to private, and especially Ivy League schools. Those who choose to participate in Greek life have the opportunity to become members of sororities and fraternities specific to gender, religions, races, and even majors. Colleges and universities in the South have strong Greek life with many undergraduate students participating, and at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, twenty percent of undergraduates participate in Greek life.

Getting involved in Greek life provides students with many opportunities, such as an expansion of their social circle, involvement in community service, and leadership opportunities. In addition, the students who participate in Greek life are less likely to drop out. While participating in Greek life provides students with benefits, downsides also occur on college campuses. Serious dangers range from hazing to drug and alcohol or abuse, or even sexual assault.
