Right reasons for going Greek

[shinerbock]

I mean, we did philanthropy stuff, and raised quite a bit of money from events...
But I joined a fraternity mainly for two reasons:
1) It is almost a rite of passage for strong southern families. It helps to bring you into adulthood and network with people who can aid you throughout life.
2) I wanted to have fun in college. I went to a big southern university, and wanted to experience southern fraternity life in all its glory.

-Networking and Connections
-Have a badass time in College at a huge Southern school
-Carry on family and community traditions
-valuable lessons one can learn in joining a fraternity

Granted, our chapter has done alot of philanthropy and raised alot of money, but that was not a reason for joining a fraternity.

I joined a sorority mostly to meet a variety of new people--my first semester of college was spent heavily involved with my school's Honors College, and joining a sorority was a great way to meet people outside the "honors bubble."

I also wanted to become involved in many school traditions (Homecoming floats, Sing, etc.) and give back to the community somehow.
