Ree wrote a great post. Fraternities and sororities are not just about partying or drinking or such, but let's face it. Most of us here are collegians, and it doesn't matter if you're in an organization or you're an independent: socializing and drinking is probably high on your priority list. Not everybody focuses on those two aspects of college life, but seriously: most do. As far as Recruitment, it's the lifeblood of these organizations. One pledge class can ruin a chapter or make improve it 110%. A few years of bad recruitment can close a chapter. It's hard to balance the constant need for new members with the pressure to pick the right ones, so it's a popular topic with most of us. It's copmlex and extremely important. Risk Management is just as important. We don't want our brothers and sisters getting themselves into trouble, getting our whole chapters into trouble, or, god forbid, badly injure themselves. Today liability is a huge issue, with lawsuits being thrown around all over the place, as well.
We all have philanthropies that we raise huge amounts of money for anually. Being in a fraternity or sorority often gives the average college student, who will rarely take the initiative to support or run a large fundraising event, a chance to do that.
