Joining fraternities or sororities promotes spiritual and moral development of the youth

I've always been led to believe that groups such as fraternities or sororities are full of people who are bad, because that's how the media paints them. And I am not fully aware of how most of these organizations work anyway, so I'll just say what I know.

First, what is a fraternity/sorority? My understanding of it is that it is a group created to achieve something through mutual support. I don't see anything wrong with that. Especially if the frat has a worthy goal, like helping each other with studies so they can. The main thing wrong with the frats is the hazing, something overly focused upon by the press but is definitely happening.

So back to the main topic, would joining fraternities or sororities promote spiritual and moral development of the youth? Theoretically, yes it would. It is a group where you are expected to support each other, and you will always learn something from other people, no matter what your relationship with them may be. On the other hand, I don't really see why an recruit has to go through abuse just to join such a group. Anybody can see (should see) that undergoing hazing to be accepted into a frat is absolutely ridiculous. Hazing is immoral, and so any frat that practices it is not a frat worth joining.
