The public nature of Greek groups can work to their advantage, and the benefit in this case of being involved in a Greek organization is that Greeks may expect themselves to be called upon to set a good example for the campus. Another benefit is an opportunity for leadership. Greek groups usually attract leaders. Greeks are also more likely to set a positive example and to affect change within their community because a fraternity or sorority provides for more open dialogue, more solutions and problem-solving, as well as a variety of backgrounds in members from which to draw experience and share information. By joining Greek groups, students have already proven that they can commit to that which they care about at least in some capacity, and from there, these groups may better take on the challenges of being a student and of being a Greek.
Greek groups ask also for yet more commitment.
They provide the Greek the opportunity to be proud of who he or she is through their admiration for their fellow brothers or sisters. They provide Greeks with the means to commit themselves to friends and lifestyles and the expectation that the time and effort invested will come back to them fourfold. Nonetheless, the benefits are numerous, mainly through challenges that, when met, contribute to the strength of Greek groups.
