an inside look at a year of college boys becoming men
Examines the true stories of two college freshmen--called Jake, a boy who hopes a fraternity will help him overcome social awkwardness, and Oliver, a tough and athletic boy who doubts his ability to lead his fraternity--and their experiences over two years with their fraternities. Discusses why fraternities sometimes encourage good kids to do bad things, why rituals and secrets still occur in fraternities, and how and why deadly accidents still occur.
