Individuals who wanted students that would live up to certain moral and academic standards founded Greek houses. Members that do not meet the standards set by a house are asked to leave and resign their pin. Many campuses expect the Greek system to provide students with social activities. The stories of wild parties are what the public always hears about. The truth is Greek systems have taken the bull by the horns on many campuses to prohibit alcohol use.
Greek houses have responsibilities that go along with setting their own living rules.
They participate in philanthropies to raise money for charity or for the school. They go as a group to support the school's sporting teams. And they must adhere to the rules they agreed to live by or face losing their charters. Another way to get the most you can out of college is to take advantage of school resources. If you cannot decide what subject to major in, go to the career planning office.
