Sorority and Fraternity life is always a hot topic among large universities. Including our very own, Washington State University. With 14 sororities and 25 fraternities, WSU knows what Greek Life is all about.

When joining a sorority, of course, I was nervous. There's no doubt. But when I finally found my home away from home, I knew sorority life was the best choice to make for myself. The more I learn about Greek Life, the more substantial it becomes in my life.

Greek Life adds to the college experience. When you join a fraternity or a sorority, you will gain lifelong friends who will be in your life forever, help out your community and philanthropies, and find a home away from your hometown! Sororities and Fraternities can also be very beneficial for the future. Your next employer could be apart of the same Greek organization! Not to mention, Greek Life looks great on a resume.

According to the Greek Life section of the Ball State University website, "A fraternity or sorority is a brotherhood or sisterhood formed around common goals and aspirations... The members that form a fraternity or sorority share their efforts, friendship, and knowledge. Together they learn, grow, and make the fraternity or sorority, commonly called a Greek organization, stronger. Their common experience builds ties that last a lifetime."

Each organization is founded on different beliefs and values.

Whether to join a large or small organization, a culturally based group or a general fraternity or sorority, a newly formed organization or one that has been around for fifty years-it is simply a matter of personal preference.

Each organization has its own advantages. Selecting a fraternity or sorority is like choosing friends-pick the group you feel most comfortable with.

All fraternities and sororities share the values of scholarship, leadership, service, and brotherhood or sisterhood.

As you attend various recruitment events, it is important that you ask the questions about things that are important to you: costs, activities, scholarship, philanthropy, etc.

Perhaps most importantly, make the decision on your own. Even though your roommate, best friend, or the group of people you attend recruitment events with has decided on a particular fraternity or sorority, you do not have to.

Your friends should always be your friends; the choice of fraternity or sorority is completely yours.
