What Can Sororities Offer You?

Recent research studies showed that sorority women were happier in college, more likely to graduate, more financially successful, and were more involved in campus activities during college and in community work after college than college women who didn’t join a sorority.

All sororities have 5 basic benefits:
sisterhood, scholarship, leadership, philanthropy, and networking.

Sisterhood:

Scholarship:

• All sororities are founded on high academic achievement.
• Sororities have mentoring and time management programs, and files on current classes.
• Sororities have national networks for members to use in their careers and job relocations.
• NPC gives $350,000. in annual scholarships. All sororities offer thousands of $ in national and local scholarships.
• The Atlanta Alumnae Panhellenic Association, awards $2400. to collegians and $1800. to alumnae at our annual Scholarship Luncheon in May.
  

Leadership:

• You will enhance your decision-making skills and your oral/written skills when you serve on chapter committees or as a committee chair or chapter officer.
• You’ll develop a lot of organizational skills.
• Sororities have extensive leadership training programs for their officers.
• Sisters can open doors to membership in campus organizations, sports teams, and student government.
• 71% of Who’s Who listings and 85% of Fortune 500 companies are run by Greeks.

Philanthropy:

• Philanthropy is ‘service to others’, a major part of each sorority’s creed.
• Each sorority has a national philanthropy, such as breast cancer research, Special Olympics, Ronald McDonald House, pediatric AIDS, etc.
• College chapters also support local charities - childrens’ hospitals, community shelters, etc.
• After college, your job prospects are enhanced by a section of solid philanthropy work in your resume.
• Many sorority and fraternity social events are fundraisers (5K fun runs, Man of the Year calendars), so you can help people AND socialize at the same time!
• By the time you graduate, you’ll have approximately 1,000 T-shirts because every college charity and social event prints a commemorative T-shirt!

Networking:

• There’s a very wide range of social events, sorority traditions, and interaction with sisters of all ages from all over North America.
  Get togethers in college can be informal- like Friday night pizza with your sorority suite mates. Or it can be a traditional event - like Greek Week or Homecoming with several days of contests and awards.
• When you become a new member, it’s time for your sorority to celebrate. Usually there is a fun event the first night you join. Later, fraternities organize socials to introduce their new members.
• Social events help ease the day-to-day stress of college study and help sisters motivate each other to excel in classwork or internships.
• Each sorority and fraternity hosts a formal, with a round of activities ending with a dinner dance.
• Later in college, social events extend to alumnae organizations. Getting to know alumnae can be a big help when it's time to find a job, get settled in a new city, or find a place to live.
