How does being in a greek orginization positively influence the actions in daily life?

For this post i kept searching the Internet and came upon a school website for Johnson and Wales University which offers a number of greeks at their campus. Johnson and Wales University lists a plethora of positive aspects that the greeks at their college offer such as opportunities to create special, life long friendships, develop leadership skills, participate in community service activities, and apply classroom learning to real experiences within an organization.It also states that greek members feel a greater connection to their University and build strong relationships with alumni and network with other fraternity and sorority members across the country. Also, many of today’s corporate, political, social, and religious leaders are alumni members of fraternities and sororities. (Johnson & Wales University )

Although college greeks are taken a lot more serious than high school greeks we still endure some of the things that college pledgies go through. So, to further ma research I asked a few junior greek members a few questions to get their point of view on my topic. First, i interviewed Terrell Leslie, a member of Iota Psi Youth Alliance. He stated that "by joining a greek organization he was introduced to new things such as college and also he states that it matured him as a person." He also says that he doesn't regret pledging because it gave him a sense of lifelong brotherhood. For another opinion I went to my sister Kearia King, a member of Kappa Lambda Gamma Junior Sorority. She explains how by joining a organization she had the chance to meet new people and take on new experiences. Kearia states "joining Kappa Lambda Gamma Junior Sorority has made me a way more outgoing person overall".
