Q: What are the benefits in joining a sorority/fraternity????
A: The benefits of joining any sorority/fraternity is the bond you create with those people. It also provides careers opportunities. It also help you create a social life while coming in as a freshman in college especially if you are coming out of state not knowing anyone. Participating in one of these groups can lead to academic support with tuturoring and more.
Joining the Greek Life is definitely a commitment! It's so much more than the stigma of wild house parties and putting little to no thought into school. While it's not like a high school sport or activity that will be on top of you if you start falling behind in your classes, the Greek Life does actually hold you up to certain standards. There's fees you need to pay in order to participate in all the activities they do and it costs even more if you want to actually live in the house. There's also tons of volunteer work and bonding activities that you have to be apart of because for the beginning of the time you're "in" the frat or sorority, you're actually just a pledge. So pretty much you're trying to show them you can keep up. There's the amazing benefit of creating bonds with people and making college a little more exciting but there's also a plethora of stereotyping that will come along with being apart of the Greek Life. I personally think joining a frat or sorority is a great decision, just be prepared for a lot of extra work and time consuming volunteering on top of school work.
