Greek life at Wright State provides great opportunities and experiences for incoming and returning students. Not only do members get to build friendships that will hopefully last a lifetime, members get the chance to network and communicate in groups, exercising skills in interpersonal communication. Networking also provides the opportunity to get to know other leaders in the community who may become future colleagues or employers.
Joining a Greek organization also increases academic development. These organizations uphold certain standards, such as maintaining a certain GPA, to continue being a member of a Sorority/Fraternity. As a member, it is imperative to balance the responsibilities of academia and the fraternal duties of the organization. Scholarships can also be earned through academic excellence.
The Greek life plays a big role in preparing its members for the role of leadership. With members’ association in clubs around campus and taking part in the community, a leader is bound to be born. Organizing service projects, planning charities and giving back to the community are significant aspects of Greek life. The leadership learned from the experience prepares members for future endeavors and objectives in upcoming careers.
Sorority/fraternity life is not for the faint-hearted. Becoming part of a sisterhood or brotherhood requires the desire for hard work and something greater than yourself. One of the goals of being a part of a Sorority/Fraternity is coming together as a cohesive team to not only better yourself, but to better the community and its people.
If you have always wanted to make changes and support the community but do not know where to start, becoming a Sorority/Fraternity member might be the perfect opportunity.
