Chapter activities bring students the full spectrum of NMSU life in many areas including service to the community, leadership and self-governance opportunities, intramurals, fine arts, and social activities. These factors are important to all students, but even more so to first generation college students who may unsure about a college education. As we know, a great many NMSU students are first generation students. Greek letter organizations have many positive aspects which directly benefit New Mexico State University, the students, and the community. A student joining a fraternity or sorority is more likely to stay in school and, if we follow the national stats, is also more likely to graduate.
Greek organizations provide activities which contribute to a dynamic college environment.
And finally, the benefit to the community is recorded in the many projects chapters undertake to help others. This promotes a positive image of the University which can contribute to admissions.
