heids81, it is totally up to you the individual whether to become a Greek or not.
I have found that while Greeks may party, they also do a lot for the House and campus. While we do not require our Brothers to be envolved, we do suggest it. I High Alpha ( Pres.) is carring 21 hours, working part time and in the ROTC program which in it self takes time with the military. If you need to you, you make the time!!!! It has been proven that Greeks are more involved in campus activities, look a Homecoming! With out the Greeks what would it be? Without Greeks who would be on campus committees? Who has the higest overall GPA, Greeks or independents?
I started my local and di everything from marketing, selling, recruiting, and running. My grades actually went up as I did not want to let my fellow Brothers down! My last semester in college, I took econ., corp. finance, marketing and had a 3.6. I am not a brain by any means as I forget the 4 th class i took but that was in 1967. You will find that Greeks after graduation are more polished and able to function in the real world as they did many of the things in college Greeks as is expected in life.
If you miss an opportunity being in a Greek organization then you miss alot.
I learned more doing what I did than all of the years of college. Your time will never be your own through lif, it is how you use it.
I am still very envolved in my Fraterity and will be the till the day I die!! They are my family!
