Today employers seek individuals who have become actively involved on campus and in their living groups. Fraternities offer great opportunities for you to gain such experience. The fraternity experience will assist you in making the academic transition from high school to college. Although the classes you have taken in high school were undoubtedly difficult, much more will be demanded of you in college. For most college freshmen, this transition is very challenging.
Fraternities play an important role in assuring the academic success of their new members.
Many fraternities set minimum grade point averages that each new member must attain before he is initiated, and most fraternities have an organized study hall to encourage proper study habits. There are always older members in the fraternities who are willing and able to help you with your classes. This is an advantage unique to the fraternity system. The academic portion of your college life is the greatest determinant of your success. Employers also look for students who have achieved academic success along with their extracurricular involvement.
