<P> Fraternity members are "much more likely to abuse alcohol and drugs than their non-Greek affiliated peers ." One Harvard University study found that "4 out of 5 fraternity and sorority members are binge drinkers . In comparison, other research suggests 2 out of 5 college students overall are regular binge drinkers ." </P> <P> Some colleges and universities have banned Greek letter organizations with the justification that they are, by their very nature and structure, set up to be elitist and exclusionary . The most famous and oldest ban was at Princeton (Leitch 1978), though Princeton has now had fraternities since the 1980s . Oberlin College banned "secret societies" (fraternities and sororities) in 1847, and the prohibition continues to the present . Quaker universities such as Guilford College and Earlham College often ban fraternities and sororities because they are seen as a violation of the Quaker principle of equality . Brandeis University has never permitted fraternities or sororities as it maintains a policy that all student organizations have membership open to all . </P> <P> There is a high representation of former Greek life members among certain elites in the United States . 43 of the nation's 50 largest corporation heads are Greek members along with 40 of the last 47 Supreme Court justices . Greek members "are more likely to be thriving in their well - being and engaged at work than college graduates who did not go Greek," according to a study done by Gallup and Purdue University . </P> <P> Fraternities, and to a much lesser extent sororities, have been criticized for hazing sometimes committed by active undergraduate members against their chapter's pledges . Hazing during the pledge period can sometimes culminate in an event commonly known as "Hell Week" in which a week - long series of physical and mental torments are inflicted on pledges . Common hazing practices include sleep deprivation, sensory deprivation, paddling and other types of spanking, use of stress positions, forced runs, busy work, and mind games . Rarer incidents involving branding, enemas, urination on pledges, and the forced consumption of spoiled food have been reported . Hazing in many cases has been reported and has led to the permanent disposal of particular chapters of fraternities and sororities across the country . </P>
