• College student taking 15 credit hours per semester spend about 13 hours in the actual classroom each week.

Why Greek Life?What makes Greek life rewarding is that members are given the unique opportunity to interact with and lead their peers.

The other 155 hours are spent outside the class room…..

On average…

Page 9: Go Greek

Why go Greek?

Let’s do the math….There are 168 total hours in a 7 day/week

Of the 168 hours…..per week~13 hours are spent in class (15 credit hours per

semester)

~39 hours are spent studying outside of class ~56 hours spent sleeping (8 hours/night)

108 total

168 – 108 = 60 hours a week

Page 13: Go Greek

The Positive Impact of the Greek Community….• Fraternities and sororities are often associated with hazing,

drinking and partying. 

• Hazing scandals make headlines — and fundraisers and philanthropy events generally do not.

• Partying is not the reason to commit to Greek life.

• Students who join Greek organizations to build a network, make friends and develop leadership and social skills will likely graduate with useful qualities that will take them far in life.

Page 14: Go Greek

• Great fraternity experience at KU! Learned a ton in those “60 hours” of free time a week!

• Of the six groomsmen in my wedding all but 1 were my fraternity brothers.

• Fraternity brothers now live all over the U.S., but we all still keep in touch on a regular basis.

• Biggest lesson learned ….how to work beside and get along with people from different backgrounds with different views….

• Still involved today, serving as the Board President and advisor.

My Experience…

Page 15: Go Greek

“Being in a fraternity teaches you things you can’t learn in the classroom or by living elsewhere…”

I’ll leave you with this….

“Joining a fraternity is not just for your years in college, but is something that will be with you for your entire life….
