Why Go Greek?
Friendship
But even more it is a brotherhood which soars high above the casual friendships. It is often too intangible to explain.
Personal Development
One can only develop fully when one has an opportunity to interact with others...the education of self in relation to others.
Ideals
Fraternities embrace very basic ideals built on psychological and sociological concepts. It comprises ritual...a pin...a belief in some of the finer things this world can offer.
Pursuit of Excellence
Excellence in responsible behavior and citizenship to combat the moral jungle. Membership is not for any and all - but for those who are willing to set common goals and aspirations.
Leadership
Students become actively involved in programs with particular interest in their needs. Young people are going to be leaders; almost nowhere is leadership training offered today as it is in fraternities.
A Home
A home away from home. Somewhere to feel that you belong.
Scholastic Help
Fraternities seek to help individuals develop scholastically to their utmost - providing encouragement, study facilities, and upperclassmen who help as tutors if desired.
