Greek life comes with awesome benefits beside long time brotherhood/sisterhood.
- Companionship and lifelong friendships. The common bond of membership forms a brotherhood of students with shared interests and goals and usually leads to very close friendships that often last a lifetime.
- Social Opportunities. Sorority and fraternity members are expected to help plan and take part in different types of activities ranging from dances and parties to charitable events.
- Academic achievement. Academics are usually a major focus of Greek organizations and members have access to tutoring help and valuable advice from upperclassmen in the group. Studies have shown that members of fraternal organizations have a significantly higher rate of graduation.
- Opportunities for leadership. Those who join a fraternity can learn important leadership skills by participating in chapter governance and organizing activities.
