A. Networking-If you have thousands of sisters all over the country, you have thousands of contacts all over the country. When you are out of college and go job hunting, a sister is a good place to start looking. And a more immediate example: (Ok, I know there are people who will argue that this is not fair/right, but it's the real world, things happen) When I was waitressing in my college town, there were a few groups of girls from another soroity that would come in almost every weekend. When one of the other ladies would wait on them, they'd leave maybe $1/per person (in a diner, not a bad tip, but not outstanding)...when I'd wait on them, they knew I was also Greek and they'd leave me more like $3/person.

B. Community Service- Look through the Greek sites...we have spesfic causes that we serve, and many Greek orgs have contributed tons of money/service/support to great charities/orgs such as Special Olympics, Make-a-Wish, Robbie Page Foundation, Ahlzhiemer's reseach, breast cancer research, etc. Plus, community service looks good on Resumes.

C. Lifelong Friends-I know for many women, their soroity sisters are their bridesmaids, god-mothers for their children, and their life-line later down the road when they need help. And when your mom asks why you have to "pay for them" (as my mom did) tell her you're not paying for them...they're paying their own dues, and you're paying yours.
