IT'S A FACT
EXCELLENCE AWAITS YOU

A research study conducted by the Center for Advanced Social Research at the University of Missouri (Columbia) produced these findings:

  • Membership Will Keep You In School
    Sorority or fraternity members are more likely to stay in college than other students.
     
  • Membership = More Success
    College graduates who belong to a fraternity or sorority tend to be more successful financially than other college graduates.
     
  • Members Give More
    Research shows that colleges receive more gifts, and in greater amounts, from sorority and fraternity alumni.
     
  • Members Are More Active
    Greek student members tend to participate more often in co-curricular campus and community activities than other students. 
     
  • Continuing Community Service
    Sorority and Fraternity Alumni take part more often in volunteer organizations and charitable activities than others do after they graduate college. 
     
  • Better Experience = Better Value
    Research has shown that Greek alumni rate the "overall value of the college experience" at a higher level when compared to other graduates.
