Sororities and fraternities are rooted in founding principles that foster academic achievement, student involvement, community service and life-long friendships. Advantages include:

• A support group to help ease the adjustment to college
• Scholastic resources to help students achieve their academic goals
• Leadership skills acquired through hands-on experience
• Encouragement to get involved, stay involved and maximize their potential on campus
• Opportunities for active participation in community service projects

Furthermore, national studies conducted annually consistently indicate that students who choose to join Greek-letter organizations experience many positive benefits, including the following:

• Greek students are more likely to stay in college than non-Greek students.
• College graduates who belong to a sorority or fraternity tend to be more financially successful than other college graduates.
• Greek alumni give both more money and more frequently to their alma maters than non-Greek alumni.
• Greek students are more active on campus and in community activities. Upon graduation, these members are also more likely to get involved in volunteer and charitable organizations.
