S today it's down to zeta or gamma...

Question for the sorority/fraternity folks here. Beside a instant crowd to hang out with, what advantages are there post graduation to being greek?My neices and nephiews are heading to college. I never went greek because i saw the naked bunch of pledgies run and jump in a duck **** pond during rush. I always wondered post graduation dues the fraternity have an inside track on professinal career development,

Get your checkbook ready. I hear it is $$$$.

Yes, if you are Greek and a professional you have more ins! Such a big network and if you are applying for a job and you are Greek you have extra brownie points! So if it comes down to 2 candidates the Greek will get it 95% of the time hands down!!!! When and if you move to a new city your Greek will accept you hands down so you have a friend where ever you go! It is world wide also!
Yes it costs money, so does sports or anything else in life!

Drew Carey is Greek Michael Phelps mom and sisters are Phi Mu

We advised our niece to wait before pledging during her first year at Baylor. It was important that she establish herself in a comfortable routine and to focus on grades first. It worked out well!

@tflea Well, they didn't like my DD...

Did she only pick one and not get it? If so there is always Spring and in the mean time look at all and decide which one has the most in common and go to things with them

Not going to put my granddaughters name just SHE or HER . I'm going to quote an email from GD's mom who is our youngest DD . ----She has been so happy since she got into Alpha Chi Omega at University Of Arkansas . Before the 1st day of school the girls were ((grouped into majors so they immediately had mentors)) ,& each group has a social media group to encourage or ask questions . She has a mentor who has a 4.0 & just starting her junior year in the nursing school .Every day a different older girl has emailed her & the older girls have been asking her to coffee or even cooking for her to get to know her . A bonding river float trip is already planned for labor day weekend . They invited her to worship group on campus which she said was AWESOME & she plans to attend every week . No exposure to alcohol or drugs , (( which is different from what she is hearing from a few other freshman in different sororities ))& she is not allowed to go to any parties for a few weeks . I didn't quite know what to expect from Greek life , but so far it's FABULOUS . The pictures below are of the freshman pep rally . The entire freshman class is in the A for a picture . Below is a link showing a video of how the pep rally won an award .http:news.uark.edu/articles/23685/university-of-arkansas -freshman-pep-rally-named-best-campus-tradition
