Thinking about joining a Fraternity or Sorority?
Joining an on-campus club or organization is a great way to meet new people and develop your interpersonal skills. Joining a fraternity or sorority provides the same opportunities with an additional advantage since once you become Greek - you are a Greek member for life.
More importantly, the bonds you develop by joining a fraternity or sorority are stronger than any friendships you might build at a club. It offers the best avenue to maintain lifelong friendships.

Greek members also understand the importance of giving and on average donate more than four times as much to their respective universities as alumni than non-Greeks. This is a clear indicator of the positive experience they had by becoming a member of a fraternity or sorority.
