We each chose our own paths for our own reason, hopefully the following reasons will sway you to understand my decision to become a fraternal member. The underlying reason why people join a fraternal organization is due to the bond of friendship among the members, which only Greek life can offer. Many of the friendships that develop will last well beyond a person's collegiate career. This affiliation provides an opportunity to interact with other students of all ages, backgrounds, and interests, while allowing members to meet a broad spectrum of people and personalities. Joining a fraternal organization offers a network of support to making the transition into college life.
Fraternal organizations give students the chance to make a big campus, smaller.
Fraternity and sorority chapters are self-governing bodies in which the members take on the responsibilities and offices of the organization. In a sense, fraternal members are running an organization, i.e. company. The personal growth is not restricted to the walls of the organization. Fraternal organizations place a high priority of extracurricular activities among its members with the intent to broaden and excel a person's growth. Though fraternal organizations are a minority on campus they represent the majority in such campus activities as student government, class honorees and student organizations.
