By using the numerous academic incentives only offered by fraternities, such as GPA requirements, study groups, exam and paper libraries, and scholarships, you will find university life a whole lot easier. Fraternity membership requires anywhere from 2 to 8 hours a week. Whether it be planning a party, a community service project, or regular weekly meetings, fraternity members have learned to manage their time wisely with other commitments like homework, girlfriends, and a job. This is also why so many fraternity members have succeeded in their lives. This cost is used to pay for upkeep of the house, intramural sports, community service, scholarships, and the dozens of free social events offered.
