What No One Will Tell You About Going Greek

We’ve seen the movies, we have heard the news stories. What great information have you received about being a Fraternity man or Sorority woman? Here’s insight on a few things you most likely don’t know or will never hear about becoming Greek.

Networking

The impact of the Greek system is one of the best networking opportunities in the world. Whether they are direct sisters or brothers or just simply members of the community you understand each other and you have similar values.

Experience

Chapters provide various countless opportunities to be an involved member. Men and women are able to be chapter officers, committee members, or chapter delegates. These experiences expose members to interview environments, public speaking, teamwork and team management. Philanthropic organizations provide us with service experience as well as community engagement.

Time-management

College gets busy; it’s no secret. Prioritizing and managing my personal and academic schedule has come so much easier. Given affiliated students often have busy schedules we must learn to balance all our bowling pins. Most members balance work, school, sorority/fraternity, being an officer or involved in other clubs and still are able to excel!

Pride

Greek men and women are the future, they are leaders, they are catalyst for change, and the most powerful and inspiring people I know. Being a Greek woman has transformed me into a more well-balanced and confident person, I have experience that will benefit me in the future and a community of strong and passionate individuals behind me for the rest of my life.
