Pros: The vast social network that can help you through college and beyond.

Cons: You WILL be humiliated over and over again prior to being accepted (do you think you can take it).

Ditto to KappaKappaGamma2010- endless benefits. One other perks is involvement after college, too. I graduated from college 5 years ago (wow, 5… OMG I feel old right now!!) and am involved in the local Alumnae Chapter as well as an Adviser for my collegiate chapter. My husband is also involved in his fraternity as an alumna.

Also, the social, networking, and leadership skills I developed in college have helped me immensely in my career life. It may sound silly, but I know I’m in the career / job I’m in now because of my social skills which I developed in college. You learn how to talk to people, in front of people, how to sell ideas, to lead, etc. I definitely recommend checking it out.

Same as KKG2010, I was also NEVER humiliated / hazed at any time in college (or after for that matter) and I know the girls I’m an adviser for now don’t haze, either.

As far as cons, yeah, you’ll be labeled a “sorority girl” but that’s not so bad. You’ll have a ton of pride being Greek. If you go through recruitment and join, I promise you’ll love it.

Pros: lots of new friends, great for networking after college, an incentive to keep your grades up, there is always someone there for you, gives you a “family” on campus

Cons: can’t really think of any, except for being stereotyped as a “sorority girl” but I’m over that. lol.

P.S. Don’t listen to RockStar, most schools have a strict anti-hazing policy. I was NEVER humiliated as a pledge.
