Spring Rush for Alpha Phi is about to start. Its an exciting time for both current sisters and women around campus wanting to join in on the sorority life fun.
Here is a list of reasons why men and women should rush!
Alpha Phi was a great decision on my part, and I would recommend it to anyone :)
Top Ten Reasons To Go Greek!
10. Social Aspect: Being Greek gives you something to do with your free time. Have something fun to do. Provides you with a network of friends. There is always somebody to get ice cream with or to go catch a movie with. There are many different types of socials to attend as well.
9. Resume/Success: Being Greek gives you another activity to add to your resume. Over half of U.S. Presidents have been Greek as well as 80-90% of Fortune 500 company executives. You must be a successful person to be in Greek Life, and others that are Greek will understand this in the workplace.
8. Sense of Belonging: College is a difficult time for everybody. Joining a Greek organization gives you a sense of belonging to something. It helps you designate yourself on your campus. Greek life will also enhance your college experience.
7. Lifelong Skills: Belonging to a Greek community provides you with a variety of vital lifelong skills. Recruiting alone teaches you to meet new people, be confident, and how to have a meaningful conversation. It also teaches you how to be a part of a business, and many times a leadership position will put you in charge of running the business. Time management and responsibility are also skills learned in Greek life.
6. Sisterhood/Brotherhood: Joining a sorority or fraternity helps you find the sister or you never had or always wanted. It also provides a home away from home. You will have a house you can go to any time you want full of your sisters or brothers, or you might even live there. There will never be another dull moment in your college experience. You will have an unlimited amount of Greeks to go to a movie with or express your problems.
5. Academics: Greek life provides you with many ways to help you with your grades. Most campuses have strict GPA rules that they enforce. Sororities and fraternities are always holding study tables, giving you a quiet place and a designated time to do your studies.
4. Leadership: Greek organizations present you with a path to become a leader. Within your house there are a number of positions you can run for, from making a scrapbook to remember the year, to being in charge of recruiting individuals, to academics. It is also easy to get involved with your National Panhellenic Council or your Interfraternity Council.
3. Opportunities: Joining a Greek organization opens up endless amounts of opportunities. These opportunities will be in your own house, your campus, your community, and the world. Many of the Greek organizations are International.
2. Giving Back/Being a Better Person: Being Greek allows you to better yourself, your community, and your sisterhood. You will be able to participate in community services, help raise money for your philanthropy, raise awareness about your philanthropy, etc.
1. Lifetime Membership: Joining a sorority or fraternity allows you to belong to a lifetime membership. Once you join, you will always have your sorority or fraternity, and your sisters or brothers.
