1. MYTH: Sororities are not allowed to throw parties because a lot of women living together is considered a brothel

REALITY: This word-of-mouth myth is so far off . The origins of the "brothel " rumor began prior to the 1960s, when there was a surge in coeducation. People speculate that the myth is derived from "blue laws ," which were enacted to prevent large numbers of people, both men and women, who were unmarried or unrelated from living together. The blue laws were put in place to protect the property values of residential neighborhoods from plummeting, due to excessive student partying . So why can't sororities throw keggers? The National Panhellenic Conference won't let sororities serve alcohol due to safety concerns and underage drinking laws .

2. MYTH: Depression is the biggest mental-health issue on campus

REALITY: In 2014 , 14.3 percent of college students were diagnosed or treated by a professional for anxiety. Depression, on the other hand, was only diagnosed or treated among 12 percent of the same population. This is the first time anxiety has superseded depression on campus, despite the connection of the two disorders. The number of students who reported both depression and anxiety is 8.6 percent. Dr. Marie Albano, director of the Columbia University Clinic for Anxiety and Related Disorders, told the Huffington Post that she is not surprised at the change, since anxiety is the number one mental health disorder for both adults and children.

3. MYTH: A liberal arts degree will leave you working in a coffee shop

REALITY: Your parents may have gasped after you declared art history as your major, but the truth of the matter is that people with liberal arts degrees actually do get jobs upon graduation . The Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce crunched employment statistics and the results were surprising: English and History majors reported relatively low unemployment rates after graduating at 9.8 percent and 9.5 percent, compared to higher unemployment rates of Economics (10.4 percent), Political Science (11.1 percent), and Architecture (12.8 percent) majors. Health is an area of study which has the lowest unemployment rate at 2 percent.
