Joining a Greek organization opens doors for students that never existed for them before. Ask any Greek on campus what they have learned from their time in their fraternity or sorority and you will hear things like leadership skills, budgeting, organization skills, philanthropy, initiative, social awareness, moral and personal values, and much more. Greek individuals comprise only 2% of the population of the United States. However, this 2% is a very powerful group of individuals:
