Is greek like worth the money?

[WhyGoGreek]

Well, strictly on the financial aspects:

On my campus, the total cost to live in our fraternity house was about 15% less than the cost of an equivalent dorm room.

Dues also included other perks such as social and academic events, sports, meals, and others.

The resume I have thanks to my leadership role in the house has not only helped me get into grad school, but has helped me in the development of my business, and I'm sure that I were not self-employed, would help me get a job.

On the job note, many other Alumni of my chapter got their current jobs with the help, recommendations, or directly from other Alumni of our chapter. I know at least one brother who is now working for an older alum.

So, even if it is a purely financial decision, joining a greek organization still works out in your favor.

And everyone else has already touched on the aspect of friends :-)

Hope it helps,
