Fraternities and sororities are a huge influence and factor of college parties. On an average weekend at a University campus most students who are looking to party will go to a party hosted by a fraternity house. The males who host these parties, are looking to have a great night allotting the maximum number of college students into the party as possible. But in some cases depending on the night, fraternity, or number of students trying to come to that party, there are restrictions on who is let into the party. This policy accustomed by fraternities is not documented or written down but generally known by most college students. When attempting to go to a fraternity party females; whether they are in a sorority or not, a freshman or senior, will all be allowed into the party for free. As a male, the chances of getting into a fraternity party are less promising than a females. Male students generally must be in a fraternity, know a member in the fraternity, bring girls with them to the party, or pay money to enter.
As a female this policy typically has no effect on my night out and can benefit my college experience having a free pass to enter parties. But I feel that this unspoken policy made by fraternities and accepted by students of the universities is unfair. In my opinion males should not have to pay to get into parties. Fraternities are taking advantage of their power on campus, and are doing so in a way that is disrespectful towards their peers by making some students pay and others in for free. Females do not take into consideration why they are being let into these types of parties with no cost. This policy is degrading towards women because fraternities are also taking advantage of females by inviting and letting them into their parties for free, with the intentions of taking advantage of them later on that same night.
