Why Go Greek? NPHC • Greek organizations offer a “home away from home” for a variety of students with diverse interests and different backgrounds. • Fraternities and sororities instill leadership skills in their members and promote active citizenship. • Members of the Greek Community statistically have higher GPA’s than non-Greeks. • Membership in a fraternity or sorority increases first-year college retention. • Academic performance of first-year students is higher among fraternity and sorority members. • Greeks graduate at higher rates than other students. • Fraternity and sorority members spend more hours on service and volunteering than other students. • Fraternity and sorority members are more involved in other extracurricular activities than non-members. • Because Greek students feel a deeper connection to their college or university, Greek alumni donate more to their alma mater after graduation. • Members of fraternities and sororities have exponentially larger professional networks.
