Soccermaster25, you seem to have a very limited understanding of Greek organizations. Greeks generally have a higher average GPA, which usually means better job offers. Being Greek is way more than going to “chapter meetings”, you build strong relationships with your fellow brothers/alumni. And while I’ll admit SAA is a fine for networking, a fraternity network would include contacts more willing to help you out.

In addition there’s also plenty of opportunities to develop your social skills. Speaking as someone who was more of an introvert in high school, my experience in my Greek organization helped me become more outgoing in social settings. These skills are invaluable in any professional setting. This is something that I just don’t think I would of gotten from any club.

I don’t mean this post to be an advertisement for going Greek. I just don’t think it’s fair to completely write it off as useless, people should do what works best for them.
