There is a strong correlation between enhanced academic success and being affiliated with the Greek system. The social support provided by a chapter fosters a network to achieve success. Studies prove that when a student is socially adjusted to collegiate life that student is better able to focus on schoolwork. Also, chapters develop the leadership skills of its members, which spills into the classroom. Brothers and sisters are excellent study buddies and study groups are spontaneously formed in Greek chapters.
Older members are excellent resources for younger members and new initiates.
They often tutor and provide scheduling tips for classes. Plus, having a brother or sister's file always aides in study strategies. Older members give advice on professor expectations and what is needed to perform well in a class. In addition, being a part of the Greek community will enable members to ripen relationships with their professors outside of the classroom. Greek chapters hold faculty events in which members become friendly with administrators, professors, and deans.
