I'm originally from South Bend, IN the home of Notre Dame. Since Notre Dame doesn't have a greek system I only got my views of greek life from the media. During my junior and especially during my senior year of high school I started getting really involved. I wanted to continue to get involved in college. The first three years I went to a local Indiana University campus and NO ONE got involved. Everybody just went to class and went home. I finally was able to transfer to my top school, Ball State (4th ranked entrepreneurship program in the nation and just a friendly campus). I hung out the first week and had a great time partying at student's houses and with my new friends, but really wanted something more. I started checking out organizations and found out a lot of the ones I was interested in weren't that involved (they basically met once a week to have dinner and talk about business issues). Finally I stumbled across the "GO GREEK" campaign, and started doing some research. I submitted my e-mail address to the IFC and Phi Gamma Delta was the first to call me. As soon as I got to the house I was amazed at how much fun the guys were having joking with each other and including me in this brotherhood. They pushed me to get involved, and they had very respectable grades. They also did a lot of community service. Coming from a greekless town and being a first generation college student I never knew fraternities were involved in community service or put such an emphasize on academics. I tell everyone that asks joining a fraternity is the best decision I have ever made.
