It comes to no surprise that many people have negative connotations about greek life on college campuses and its members. There are countless stereotypes found in movies, books, and magazines that create this negative image. However; many greek organizations have a lot of benefits to offer its members. Otherwise, why would greek life exist on any college campus, let alone, why would some sororities still exist after 100 years or more?!
There are many benefits to being in such an organization, here are the top five just to name a few. First, the strong bond formed between the members of such a club is immeasurable. These people are not just friends, such as the ones you may have had in high school or outside of your sorority, but more like family. You share many experiences with these people that will allow you to make friendships that will last a lifetime. Second, COMMUNITY SERVICE. I do not know a single club, at least on my campus, that does not get involved with the community. This is a great way to give back to the areas around your school as well as it looks great on applications and resumes! Third, you can get advice on anything from the members of your club! This is great and comes in handy when scheduling for classes. You can never be too careful in deciding between professors, and this could make or break you semester or even college experience! Fourth, many, if not most, Greek organizations offer networking opportunities to their members long after their college years. You can tap into alumni networks and make professional connections that might not have been available otherwise. Fifth, this is a great way to obtain leadership opportunities! Being in greek life is a lot of work, and there are many different positions available in every club. This is an experience that is essential to making it out in the real world after graduation.
