For example, my position in my sorority is the Family Day Chairwoman. I plan three events, Family Day in during the spring semester. My responsibilities for my position include organizing and planning these events.
I plan a theme for decorations and t-shirts, buy food, and plan activities for members and their families to enjoy during the event. In addition, I keep track of my budget for my events, and I coordination with different positions for different aspects of the events.
Other benefits of joining a sorority are that it teaches members time management skills. On top of juggling classes, course work, and jobs, members are required to attend events and meetings for the sorority.
If a member has a position they must also be able to make time for their responsibilities. In addition after college will they have to make time for family, work, and many other things as adults. Lastly, joining a sorority teaches members financial responsibilities. As a member of a sorority, you have to pay dues each semester. In addition, if a member is elected or appointed to a position, they are usually given a budget.
Officers are expected to track their budgets each semester. They also must notify the financial chairwomen of all the expenses they have made and why they were made. It is great to have mastered before graduating from college. Luckily, joining a sorority can help with that. I love talking to college students and helping them set themselves up for success. Greek life can be a great option for some, and I encourage every student to complete an internship while in college.
While Greek life is different at every school, there are certain experiences that are consistent across organizations. Below, we're reviewing the top 10 benefits of joining a sorority or fraternity. Read on! Become Part of a Community When you're first starting out in college, it can be difficult to make friends or meet like-minded people.
One of the biggest benefits of joining a fraternity or a sorority is meeting other members of the organization. During the Greek rush process, you'll meet members of different sororities or fraternities to determine which house has the people who yo would most like to get to know better. Once you join, those people become your closet friends.
Build Your Social Skills If you're naturally shy, you may think that joining a frat or becoming a member of a sorority isn't for you. There is a lot of social interaction that happens within the groups, but that's actually the reason why you should become a member. Greek organizations are a great place to meet people from different background who have had different life experiences.
This is especially true at larger colleges, where people come from all over the country or the world. Normally, being in such a diverse crowd would be overwhelming. If you are a member of the same sorority or fraternity, you already know that you have something in common. It's a great link to build a relationship on, and you can improve your social skills by talking to people you might not have met otherwise.
Participate in Community Service For the typical college student, philanthropy is not always top of mind. When you join a frat or a sorority, however, it becomes a core value that you actively engage with on a regular basis.
Part of being in a Greek organization is giving back to the community, and for many members, it's these acts of service that make the experience even more rewarding.
It's a chance to get involved in your college town beyond campus, and to positively influence the lives of people in the community. Build a Network Participating in a sorority or fraternity is not only beneficial to you while you're in college. For many women, Sorority offers them this safe and supportive space. Many sorority members call this sisterhood.
Sisterhood is a feeling of purpose and belonging. It is feeling safe to be yourself and speak your mind in a room full of women and still feeling completely supported. It is something women may not always get to experience in their everyday life and sorority is a space meant to empower women to be unabashedly themselves.
These relationships last long after women have graduated college making it a lifelong benefit to members. Members learn how to communicate effectively with others and handle conflict resolution.
They also learn how to work on a team and manage their time wisely. These are just a few of the marketable skills members gain throughout their sorority experience.
Among the skills gained is leadership. Members are provided with a multitude of leadership opportunities. Sororities are run by students with support as given by alumnae members. That leaves collegiate members to take leadership positions to plan events, handle the financials, organize member educations and more.
To prepare students for these roles there are leadership conferences.
