Why
join a fraternity?
It is not unusual to hear a fraternity man credit his
chapter for contributing more to his education than the classes he attended
at college. Why?
As a new student to DU,
you are no doubt being hit with a barrage of information about the wide variety
of experiences that college life has to offer. Spend as much time as possible
reading and evaluating this information, the things that you will learn are
not fabrication, and if you’re serious about making the most of college
and life, you will find them important.
A lot of students attend
DU. People from backgrounds as far ranging as you can imagine.
You will come into contact with many in your classes. Some you will develop
friendships with. You will also get a first class education inside of the
classroom from quality faculty. However, you will do your greatest learning
outside the classroom, and you will develop your lifelong friendships from
those you meet in organizations.
And guess what? It is
these things which the Greek system is best at helping develop. It is these
abilities, this learning outside of the classroom that makes the greek system
what it is. By banding together as a group of individuals with common objectives,
an atmosphere is fostered where leadership, communication, conflict management
and interpersonal skills are demanded. Out of this need springs learning,
adapting and personal growth. Fraternity life, above all the many other benefits
it offers, gives you practice for life in the real world.
So, when you hear a fraternity
man credit his success to his fraternity…believe him!
