Always remember that fraternities do not exist just to save you money. They provide intangible benefits such as brotherhood. The bonds that you will develop with your fellow brothers will provide memories that may last a lifetime, along with opportunities for leadership in your future. When considering the intangible benefits with the financial benefits, it is no wonder that so many of the undergraduate men at SLU are fraternity members. An important and often overlooked aspect of Greek Life is dedication to serving the community.
All Greek organizations support their own philanthropic project.
These range from working with senior citizens, the homeless, or at-risk youth and various other charitable organizations. These projects help build moral character among participants as well as teach them to assume their civic responsibility as they become the leaders of our communities. The opportunities to serve are endless. Through involvement in the Greek System young men learn to develop their most important quality, the ability to give of themselves.
