There are those who have always known that they wanted to be a part of Greek Life.
But then there are those people who aren’t so sure, and they need some convincing. So, I’m here to tell you all the amazing things about being part of Greek Life on campus here at UW Madison.
Greeks never feel alone.
The first reason you should go Greek is the sappy and cheesyreason that you have heard way to many times. It’s that you will make lifelong bonds with amazing people whom you will call your sisters or brothers forever. It’s true.Â
You will belong to an organization you fit into. You are bound to form incredible bonds. And as a result, those people will be your support system, your encouragement when you need it, and your lifelong friends. Â
Greeks have the most fun.Â
Being Greek means socials almost every weekend. These socials will always be themed, insanely fun, and provide you with opportunities to meet tons of new people of the opposite gender. Even better than socials, Greeks have formals. Formals are a great excuse to find a date and get dressed up. Formals even sometimes consist of travelling to exciting places such as Milwaukee or Chicago and staying overnight in hotels.
Greeks help their communities, so they have better resumes.
Every fraternity and sorority is involved in philanthropy. Each house has their own cause that they provide for, and philanthropy in Greek Life is typically fun. Chi Omega has a fashion show; Gamma Phi makes delicious grilled cheese; Alpha Phi has Alphatraz; you can pie a Pi Phi; and you can graba graba donut from Kappa Kappa Gamma.
Greeks have the best networks.
The people you meet will not only be your life long friends but they will open up so many new opportunities for you. You will find out about job opportunities you would have never known about before, and have people to recommend you for them. When you graduate you will have connections to people all over the country. And you will forever have a connection with anyone who was ever a member of your house nationwide.
