As i continued my research on the Internet I came across an article by Katie Potzick. (The Beat) She wrote an article on a student at University of Louisville in the fall of 2005 named David Scholla who asked himself "to pledge or not to pledge"... Well he ended up pledging and not regretting his decision and he says "it has made him a more round person". He also states that it has helped him strive to achieve his personal best in all areas in college life: scholarship, leadership, teamwork, and community service. The article also included a interview from Lauren Hansen, a junior accounting/computer information systems major and Phi Beta Phi member. She states "It is a great way to meet new people. Joining Greek Life gives you a support system and lifelong friendship... you have service opportunities and can participate in intramural sports, hold leadership positions, and are able to become very active in campus events."During the year the Greek organizations also sponsor different fundraising and charity events such as the Chi Omega Chili cook off, the Kappa Delta Shamrock and 5K run, the Triangle Thanksgiving dinner, etc... The events help Greek members fulfill their goal to reach out to the community and create positive change. Throughout my blog I wanted to show and give you examples in which people joined a Greek organization and how it changed their lives in a positive way.
