You CAN sit with us.
20. Friends. No, not everyone in your chapter of 160 people will be your bestie, but after your four-year sentence, you’ll walk away from college with the greatest crew.
19. Good grades. Whether your great-grand-big has the same major you do, or your roommate has a cheat sheet for that Monday, Wednesday, Friday class you can never seem to make it to, students in Greek life are more likely to ‘earn’ higher grades.
18. Clothes. SO MANY CLOTHES. You’ll always have closets to raid before Thirsty Thursday, and, you know what they say in Greek Life: “If you didn’t make a t-shirt for the event, did it really even happen?”
17. Accountability. Whether you’re about to pass out on the treadmill or fail a class, your brothers or sisters can’t ever let you [completely]fail.
16. Rich parents. ‘nuff said.
15. Community service. There’s nothing like some good karma to combat your weekend festivities.
14. Meal plans. While you might be an upperclassman junior or senior, you’ll always have that handful of fresh pledges to steal campus meal plan money from.
13. Gameday drinking is as serious as it gets.
12. Transportation. When you reach the top of the totem pole as a senior, getting home from the bars is a piece of cake. Underage taxi ‘atcho service. Imagine all the money you’ll save on Ubers…
11. Personal therapists.
10. Bar buddies. There will ALWAYS be at least one person down to drink on a Monday afternoon.
9. Sorority date parties.
8. By your senior year, you’ll be able to outdrink any 40-year-old alcoholic man.
7. Your BAC means more than your GPA.
6. Crash pad options all over campus. If you’re in a sorority, be sure to make friends with good guys in frats, as they’ll usually chauffeur a Chipotle-run in the morning.
5. Leadership. Taking an executive board position in a Greek organization requires a lot more than popularity. You’ll learn time management, respect and loyalty.
4. Resume building. In most Greek organizations you’re required to serve on a committee.
3. The job opportunities are endless. There will always be a brother who “knows a guy.”
2. Sorority house cooks know what’s up. #SundayBreakfast
1. The stories you can actually remember will be absolutely epic.
