I Take Just Pride: How a Fraternity Reinvented Itself, Why a Professor Joined

A Cornell University fraternity starts over in 2000 with an ambitious vision: no hazing, lots of community service, campus leadership, and high behavioral standards. Writing lecturer Scott Conroe, a journalist researching fraternities and whether they still belong in America, becomes the faculty advisor—and eventually accepts the chance to be initiated at 46. Conroe offers a story of self-discovery, generations, and life inside a fraternity trying to be different.
