A recent three-year study of undergraduates who persist to graduation showed that on campuses without fraternities only 33 percent graduated. Fraternities inspire high standards of conduct. They are a proven way of reducing anonymity and impersonality that frustrate too many college students today. Each chapter is a small group where close friendships are formed, dreams and problems shared, and an identity established. No other college institution offers so much in a congenial atmosphere.
Fraternities develop leadership ability.
Fraternities instill a spirit of good citizenship. Many college officials have stated without hesitation that they rely upon the Greek-letter groups for a stabilizing influence on their campuses. These groups have tended to stand for law and order. Fraternities, even though the above points have been proven, are still attacked by the uninformed. Fraternities have never been healthier, stronger, and wiser, and they are growing so fast that most Greek leaders are having enormous difficulty keeping pace with the growth.
