The word "fraternity" brings to mind the alcohol-fueled debauchery of the classic college film Animal House, but fraternities across the nation, Tufts included, are attempting to change that image.
According to the North-American Interfraternity Conference (NIC), an organization that oversees communication between over 60 national fraternities, "the 20th century fraternity is no more."
The organization has passed a new set of standards this year that "will propel fraternities to be who we say we are" and includes guidelines on communicating to members information on alcohol consumption, sexual assault, hazing, and values and ethics.
