Joining a Fraternity or Sorority

Benefits

The choice to join a fraternity or sorority promises lifelong membership and involvement. You will find a strong sense of personal belonging, create a network of support, dedicate time to a philanthropic cause, engage in community service, and have the opportunity to take on leadership roles.

The greatest benefit to membership is the international network that is available to you by connecting with other members from across the world.
