One is expected to contribute time and effort not only to the other members, but to the houses as well. Living and working within a Greek letter organization teaches sacrifice, discipline, and tolerance.
People learn how to deal with one another in order to achieve common goals.
Greek letter organizations are successful self-governing bodies that are a result of tireless efforts on the parts of the members. These organizations require a certain level of commitment from their members, and that commitment is not only carried on within the house, but outside of college as well. The alumni of fraternities and sororities at Colgate University maintain strong relations with their respective houses after graduation. Many houses have alumni groups and clubs all over the nation that keep the alumni aware of and involved with the recent activities of their houses. The alumni network within the Greek letter organizations is strong and is very useful in helping undergraduates secure jobs and internships outside of college.
