Many have the stereotype that all people do in fraternities is drink all day long, and party all day long. That's all they can think of. They also say that they will help you get a job if you need it. But that is really far from the truth. In a fraternity you make friends that last a very long time. It is an opportunity to learn about maturity during your college years. You learn about leadership, and how to make decisions.
I remember when I was being recruited for a fraternity. I never thought I honestly would go coming into college. I remember someone telling me when I first went to college, "Want to go to a frat party?" I was thinking to myself..."what's that?" I also remember someone that fraternity trying to recruit me and I said, "Ï'm not interested", thanks. However looking forward it really is a great experience. I was Philanthropy chair for a year for my fraternity. I was very proud of the work I did. I held a relief brunch for Haiti, I did a cancer research benefits brunch and got my fraternity involved in food and clothing drives. I really am proud of the opportunity it gave me. I'm unsure where else I could have been able to do that at. But you can make it what you want it to be. I know that I have been able to do that. You can also get support and assistance on grades, and or even other issues you may have going on.
But don't tell me all fraternities do is drink all day long because that is for sure not the case.
