Testimonials
“I joined a fraternity to make friends, have fun, & to really drive the work hard play hard mentality. Joining a fraternity has changed my college experience in many ways, I now know an unbelievable amount of people and can't walk around campus without seeing people I know. I am much more organized [and] always have something to do which, is amazing. My advice to the incoming class: do it and commit to it. It’ll be the best decision you make in college. You’ll meet so many people well beyond your own fraternity. It will open so many doors that you can’t find without joining Greek life. Also, while pledging, do as much as you can with the fraternity to establish those bonds that really make you feel like you belong. The only people I know who don’t love their chapter never really gave it a chance.” —Connor Kadow (2nd year Industrial & Systems Engineering)
