Really no advantages to it.




Access to alumni and networking groups with jobs (even decades after you graduate)
Access to years of past tests and homeworks for any class
Mentoring from older students in the same major as you in your fraternity/sorority
More opportunity for leadership positions on your resume
Some student groups on campus are highly selective and being in a fraternity or sorority can be a way to get in


Along with those academic advantages, there are also some social advantages. Of course, there are also some disadvantages (it requires time, it’s easy to get swept up into the social scene, it’s usually not very cheap). It’s not for everyone, but it’s dishonest to say that it has “no advantages”.

If nothing else, go to a fraternity house the night before the career fair. The alumni on campus for the fair will come by the house, take resumes from the brothers, and fast track them through the interview process.
