Looking back on Greek years

[Kevin]

I'd have to characterize my experience as a fairly rare one. I was privliged with being able to play an important role in the formation and founding of a chapter. I can say that without a doubt it helped me learn how to be a leader, how to effectively manage tasks and people and how to set and attain my short and long-term goals. In a fraternity I was presented with many situations, good and bad that I would have never encountered as an independant. While challenging at times, I wouldn't trade the experience for anything.

Now as an alumnus we're workinging to form an alumni chapter and later an alumni club. Working on building our own house and facilitating the growth of a strong undergrad chapter.

I know many that regretted their decisions. Probably even a few in my chapter. It's not something that's for everyone and I don't think there's anyone that would pretend that it is. Hang around this board for awhile and you'll see plenty of people who had (and are having) great Greek Life experiences.
